I have to build a website for my BCIS class this semester. The teacher requires us to have all the following on the first page: date, time, weather, and and a counter. I am using Dreamweaver to design it, as I have no previous experience in web design. Currently I have a weather sticker from weatherbug, and I have a date/time one I found on a free site. I really want all 3 in one frame, so I only have that and my counter. And it needs to be free. Any help??
Website help!

- Start date
A quick page with a counter, weather, date, and time. The date & time are placed via javascript, and the counter only counts the # of times the person viewing has visited using cookies + javascript. The weather is from Weather Underground. Here you go:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Page for schi0249</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function nameDefined(ckie,nme)
{
var splitValues
var i
for (i=0;i<ckie.length;++i)
{
splitValues=ckie[i].split("=")
if (splitValues[0]==nme) return true
}
return false
}
function delBlanks(strng)
{
var result=""
var i
var chrn
for (i=0;i<strng.length;++i) {
chrn=strng.charAt(i)
if (chrn!=" ") result += chrn
}
return result
}
function getCookieValue(ckie,nme)
{
var splitValues
var i
for(i=0;i<ckie.length;++i) {
splitValues=ckie[i].split("=")
if(splitValues[0]==nme) return splitValues[1]
}
return ""
}
function insertCounter() {
readCookie()
displayCounter()
}
function displayCounter() {
document.write('<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">')
document.write("You've visited this page ")
if(counter==1) document.write("the first time.")
else document.write(counter+" times.")
document.writeln('</H3>')
}
function readCookie() {
var cookie=document.cookie
counter=0
var chkdCookie=delBlanks(cookie) //are on the client computer
var nvpair=chkdCookie.split(";")
if(nameDefined(nvpair,"pageCount"))
counter=parseInt(getCookieValue(nvpair,"pageCount"))
++counter
var futdate = new Date()
var expdate = futdate.getTime()
expdate += 3600000 * 24 *30 //expires in 1 hour
futdate.setTime(expdate)
var newCookie="pageCount="+counter
newCookie += "; expires=" + futdate.toGMTString()
window.document.cookie=newCookie
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
The current time and date:
<h4>It is now
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var currentTime = new Date()
var hours = currentTime.getHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()
var month = [color=red]currentTime.getMonth() + 1[/color]
var day = currentTime.getDate()
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
if (minutes < 10)
minutes = "0" + minutes
document.write(hours + ":" + minutes + " ")
if(hours > 11){
document.write("PM, ")
} else {
document.write("AM, ")
}
document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year)
//-->

</html>Ick... Dreamweaver... The only thing I can imagine worse would be FrontPage.
Sorry, I do all my web work in WordPad and NotePad these days.
Do you have any restrictions on what kind of language this has to be programmed in? ScriptSearch.com should have a variation of the old Perl scipt one I used to use before I started doing everything in PHP.

No rules. Just build a web page. At school I have free access to Frontpage and Dreamweaver. However, the prof put on a 1.5 hour workshop on Dreamweaver. The class is just a basic BCIS class. We have 3 projects: web page, Access database, and Excel spreadsheet. In some sections, their only project is to build an access database and interface excel with it. Being my first website, and not knowing html, things are going OK. Before turning in the final project, I'm going to post the link for feedback. Content wise, he is specific. How we accomplish it, he doesn't care.
Alright, I have finished my class project site. I am taking all constructive comments. The more the merrier. Keep in mind, this is my first attempt and I am not looking to be a professional.
