MobileWeb v1.0 for MediaCar Released

**Mesuge** · 10-19-2004, 11:40 AM

Thanks Stevieg! that's exactly the application I'm looking for..

What's kind of funny is that the vast range of possibilities you can employ into it such as traffic webcams, wheather updates, teletext etc.. I used a simple redirecting script in my wheather folder so it goes each 12sec through a different page in cycle (radar picture, sat, forecast, 5day forecast etc..)

The traffic update page fits rather nicely but it sucks a lot of data and free hot spots are not very common in my area so I have to download data before departure or at 'data sucking' hot spot friendly places

..
It still needs some fine tuning of these pics to fit them nicely into the engine, though..

So what am I doing wrong here... looks OK but when you select the site you just get the IE page not found screen.

Tested by pasting directly in to the IE tool bar the URL and thats fine... is this a bug or a fault with the chair to keyboard interface ?

Can someone explain to me or show me a website where I can learn how to do these weather things?? I see all these scripts and so forth, but I have to admit, this is a little beyond my ability. I would really like to have the slick looking weather information, radar, etc.

Many thanks.

Mobileweb is meant to display web pages - so what you would need to do is either make a web page that collects the information you want - or even more simply add the URL of a web page that already has the information on you want.

I guess that's what I'm looking for. Some sort of 'quick' tutorial for using the scripts mentioned earlier in this thread. Sorry, I'm not really knowledgable of these things. Still learning.

Which scripts? The whole point of this app is to save people having to write them!
