WEATHER WIDGET

This tool illustrates three aspects of the framework:
  • Ajax - Entering a zip code calls weather.com XML weather service to fetch the current weather conditions. This illustrates the ability to update multiple areas of the page in one response. The Current Conditions, Moon, Sunlight Summary and the Weather.com Featured Links (below the widget) are all updated from a single Ajax call.
  • Cinematic Effects - Transitions from the front door (Enter zip faceplate) to the weather information, animated text movement, slide effects in the accordion are all illustrations of the Rico Effects library.
  • Behavior - The accordion is created by applying an Accordion behavior to a set of divs. These are the DIV areas that get populated after the ajax call for weather data completes.

The resemblence to Laszlo Systems weather application is on purpose. It is meant to compare their flash based solution with a pure DHTML/Ajax solution.
