Other Side of the World Reworked Logic Tutorial
You may recall in the recent Audio and Video Creator via Media Browsing Image Background Email Tutorial how we had a link …
… which got us to our “Other Side of the World” web application. Well, some of the workings of that web application function best when the Weather Underground weather API’s autocomplete functionality is working. Alas, it is not (with us any more) … prescient, indeed, after the recent HTML Map Element SVG Context Google Search Tutorial‘s …
When including URLs away from the domain (ie. “third party”) on which your webpage resides then you are at risk, over time, when it comes to using URLs optionally involving arguments delimited by ? (first) and (subsequent) & (what we call the “GET” arguments) optionally delimited by # before a hashtag that used to work, but may stop working into the future.
We cannot replace the data lost regarding Weather and Placename lists from this, but we can thank Wikipedia, yet again, to help us link a single Placename with a single Geographical (Latitude, Longitude) geodata set that can match to those two HTML input elements for latitude and longitude, to improve the situation.
And so a changed other_side_of_the_world.htm‘s live run calls on autocomplete.htm (which supervises Wunderground API data calling) changed in this way to offer that alternative means to an end.
If this was interesting you may be interested in this too.
