Article Update

Posted Wednesday, April 06, 2005 10:03:05 PM by Danny Patterson

In my article titled Communicating with the Server without Reloading the Page, I used a free temperature web service to show how the XmlHttpRequest object worked in JavaScript.  Even though this service has been active for a couple years now, I should have known better.  Merely two weeks after my article was published; they took the web service down.

They did however put up a static replacement.  Instead of returning the current temperature of the zip code you provide, the service always returns a static temperature without doing a lookup.  But all is not lost, the point of the article is not how to get the temperature of a given location; it is how to do so without reloading the page.

With the help of Laurie and Paul, the article is now updated to work with the newly provided, static web service.
