Sorry, there was really about 3 topics mix
ed in there.
First, I was saying the weather widget didn't work for me. I've
tried several variations on what you sent, but I can't get the widget
to show me Newark De. I did however, get it to work in safari by
going to the proper url (left out in case it's not supposed to be
mentioned) That works, and I'm thinking, an apple script that sends
safari to the proper url, then strips the info out of the page would
work just as well, and not have the problem of zip codes changing/
being wrong.
But, I was also asking about yanking the widget code out of the plist
file, and making it a stand-alone app (the apple script would
accomplish the same thing though, so this isn't strictly necessary)
And, the last thing was a completely unrelated widget called widget
tv. It gets channels off the web (don't know where, haven't tried to
find out) but in the widget, every link shows up as simply "link
image" in vo, and I was wondering if you knew of any tricks off the
top of your head to fix this, by giving those links labels of some sort.
But, for now I'll stick to the weather widget, and/or an apple script/
C version that does the same thing.

It used to give me Atlanta weather, but now it gives me Cupertino
weather. Atlanta is a *whole lot* closer. :) I'm in Delaware.
Will try again.
Anyway you know of to copy the code in the plist viewer when it
shows the source for the widget? I thought maybe I could just turn
this into a stand-alone program I could toss in my dock. Easier
for me than dashboard. Less keystrokes anyhow. since dashboard
topens to the last app you had running, and for me that's usually
the calculator or widget tv. (which is a pain to navigate to
channels, but it works) Would be nice if I could label the links
though. Any suggestions?
I am not sure what you are asking here? Could you restate?
Thanks,
