Added new features to the World Weather Tool maintained on WiredPages. Now, you can quickly review the extended [5 day] weather forecast in your region-- without leaving the page.

Illustrated below-- the new interface with an additional button -- "Extended Forecast". The new button is a toggle button and you use it to switch to the mode [i.e., current or extended forecast] showing on the button.

The 10 Day Extended Forecast link is now located near the bottom [right] of the tool-- however, works in the same manner it did before.

Clicking on the "Extended Forecast" button will change the look and available features of the tool-- as shown below:

The buttons labeled "Today", "1", etc., when in Extended Forecast mode-- enable navigation through the next five days [including the current day] of summary weather information.

The following shows-- the brief extended weather forecast for Thanksgiving in Washington. I clicked the button labeled "4". It is Monday [today]-- and Thanksgiving is 4 days away-- [counting today].

I am still testing the new enhancements-- but feel I have found most of the bugs. The overall look of the widget is still the same-- however, behind the scenes there were quite a few changes. Please bear with me while I continue to beta test.

The interface utilizes Java Applet & Servlet technology. Also required-- a relationship with the Weather Channel to access their xml data.
