View Full Version : how to make a webpage fit the screen
I have a Tungsten C, I am using isilox, (should I be using isiloXC??) I am trying to download accuweather for the town that I live in. 2 questions....How do I get just the town I live in and not the general website and how do I get the page to fit the handheld screen? I am new at this and any help would be appreciated. :)

Going to the accuweather website at http://www.accuweather.com (http://www.accuweather.com/), entering your zip code in the 15-Day Forecast box, and then clicking go gives the regular page for the forecast. The URL of the page in the address bar of the browser should show the following URL (10001 is the zip code for New York, NY):
http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/local_index.asp?zipcode=10001&partner=accuweather
There is a link that reads "Easy Print Format". Clicking that pops up a window with an easily printable version of the forecast, which looks like it would work well for small PDA screens too. Looking in the Properties of this page (using File/Properties in Internet Explorer), gives the following URL for this printable version:
http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/local_index_print.asp?partner=accuweather&zipcode=10001&metric=0
So it seems that the following simplified URL should work:
http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/local_index_print.asp?zipcode=10001
Trying it in a new browser window shows that it does.
In iSiloX, in the Properties dialog for the entry that you created, set the maximum link depth to zero so that links are not followed. On the Tables tab, set the option to "Ignore pixel width specifications" so that the table columns can flow to the width of the screen.
