Hi,
Buienradar on my iPad is not showing correctly
URL used: http://gratisweerdata.buienradar.nl/buienradar.php
This works fine in the designer, safari but on the iPad the map is VERY small, surrounded by white space.
Has anyone used this buienradar data on their iPad?
Thank you
DJ
Buienradar op iPad not displaying correctly?
Re: Buienradar op iPad not displaying correctly?
If you use a different URL, you can get a bigger image from buienrader. For example:
http://www2.buienradar.nl/display.php?w ... opacity=75
Note: unless you tell it otherwise, Safari iPhone (and iPad) assumes your page is 980px wide.
You can also change this behaviour by adding a meta tag to your html-header. For example this one:
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
http://www2.buienradar.nl/display.php?w ... opacity=75

Thank you very much.. It's working now.
It has been a long time since I worked on OSX/Safari based browsers
Now the following source also works, providing that you point to this HTML file you have to host somewhere:
You probably have to tweak back-ground colors and sizes, but it gives you some extra information.

I only got the original URL working with the html code listed above, not with a single url to the buienradar website.
So I'm pointing to this html file that's running on my HS server.

The thing , that original html part is referring to a transparent picture which is used as a overlay which has a smaller width. Thats why it fails... o well i'll use the other one..

Re: Buienradar op iPad not displaying correctly?
driving me a bit crazy here..
i found this one:
http://www2.buienradar.nl/display/nl-300-300.gif
So i thought, let take a image and place that on the background locked. Then place a text field with (http://www2.buienradar.nl/radar.php?type=display) inside it, which is the rain. (then select stretch) then it will fit.
Then i place them exactly on top of eachother and what happens then? I cannot select it anymore, those 2 become 1 object which is not any of the 2 objects anymore.. must be some sort of bug.
