There are some websites in the US offering free PHP scripts allowing to load weather data from a WDLIVE clientrawdata-file and overlay that data with an existing webcam shot.

I was always looking for doing this without PHP, because I do not host my stuff on a websever offering such services.

I´ve now done it with a different approach. Simple HTML! Thanks to meteohub that is a rather easy thing to achieve!

My webcam site:
honsolgen.de

You see the most important and actual weather data is on top of the webcam photo.

How to do this?

Create a html-table with the size of your webcam shot and feed the table with meteohub variables.
Next: Use the table background attribute to load the webcam photo. Now you can upload this as often as you want with meteohubs upload feature.
In my case: Every 5 minutes.
Webcam shot every 15 minutes to wunderground.

Meteohub´s a very fine gadget!

But it don´t works with any Browsers.

For Example: Firefox etc.

here´s a screenshot with FF 3.5.2
working

It also works with IE8- but as usual there´s a problem with IFRAME and MS

What does your FF display?

Go to browsershots.org and test any versions of FF, and you will see it doesn´t works with any ...

It works fine here in 'real' FF 3.0.13.

yep, most of the browsers do show the content correctly, even it is double framed
Frame redirect
Iframe to get the WDL applet working.

In principle overlaying with meteohubs data works fine, here´s the pure html-page, uploaded every 5 minutes:

It should display webcam & weatherdata with any browser, even mobile clones.

it should now work in both IE and Firefox.
IE has a colspan bug, so this html tag isn´t correctly shown in IE

instead of a table DIV can be used also
