directly to a station's TAF and/or METAR? |

Format:

[STID(s)] = |
4 letter station identifier(s) (ie. "kmci"
or "kden,kmci") |
[PARM(s)] = |
|
METARs ... |
chk_metars=on |
TAFs ... |
chk_tafs=on |
Plain Language ... |
add std_trans=translated |
Add previous hours ... |
add hoursStr=[number] |
|

How do I prevent large images from shrinking to
fit the window (ie. satellite, SIGWX)? |
|
|
|
This is a new "feature" in both the
latest IE and Netscape. It automatically resizes images to fit in your
browser window.
There are two options:
- Once the image is open ... just click on the image and it will
expand to full resolution (Netscape) or the little pop-up symbol,
with 4 arrows (IE).
- This feature can also be turned off (it is on by default);
- Netscape:
-Edit Menu ... choose "Preferences"
-Click on "Appearance"
-Deselect "Resize Images to fit in Browser Window"
- IE:
-Tools Menu ... choose "Internet Options ..."
-Select "Advanced" tab
-Scroll down to "Multimedia" section.
-Deselect "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Keep in mind ... that these settings are defaulted to "on" when you
update or load either browser. |
