Iconize weather info and something else

[Ray v. B. <r_v...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I am interested in showing some simple icons that indicate 
cloud/sun/rain/snow etc, as you can see on portals, sites of newspapers etc. 
Is somebody engaged in this?

The other thing is more a suggestion. The account I have is on a rather slow 
server. This means that when someone is requesting the page with the 
phpweather script, it can take a long time before the requested page is 
showing. The script first need to get the METAR data from the noaa site. 
Then the page generated. Then the page is sent to the one that requested the 
page. Would it be possible to have the script responded right away by 
showing the complete page but with a remark like 'Retrieving METAR data ... 
please wait'? Then when the script has received and processed the METAR 
data, the remark is replaced by the actual data.
In general, during the time the METAR data has not been received and 
processed, some indication should be shown that shows this status. After 
processing, the indication is replaced with the actual data.
Would that be possible?

Ray
