IBNweather

[duder]

Appreciate the effort. Thanks. Anyone else got any ideas?

I had the same problem as you awhile ago, except nothing came up in a foreign language. It had to do with the coding being wrong with the wallpaper.js i believe.

Try re-downloading the IBNweather theme and see what happens.

Ok, so check this out. Having the widget.html XML encoded UTF-16 is the reason for the Chinese characters. I changed it to 8 and voila, no more Chinese. Also, I don't know why but after a lot of fiddling and maybe it's coincidence but removing the

<base href="Private/"/>

and using absolute paths helped. i.e.

<script type="text/javascript" src="Private/configureMe.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Private/Wallpaper.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Private/Sources/appleAccuweatherStolen.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Private/Sources/yahooWeather.js"></script>

Aaanndd... again I don't know why but ONLY after I did all of that AND having the Ovation [Z] theme as the only theme active and not any of the IBNweather themes active TA DA!!! I have weather...

This one is with the UTF-16
(the upper left corner has current city and weather as text) This one is with UTF-8, ahh perfection!!!

Good to hear you got that figured out. And I gotta say, you're pretty damn smart at this sorta stuff.
I would have no clue of what to do if I was in your situation. Props to you bro

Oh crap! Why didn't I think of that. Doh! What defines the characters? The CHARSET! Duh.... Now I'm mad at myself.... I'm so used to seeing everything in utf-8 that i automatically assume nobody uses the others anymore.

XD. Awesome metaphor. I'll get after IBN later for using utf-16

[ipodtouchfrenzy]

well it says loading cuz u havent edited the config me file to update your city. once its updated to your location it wont say loading it will just show your temp and what not. u see the -? thats cuz it cant tell you the temp till u put your location in. so in the private folder go to the config file and where it says location " " put ur zip code or accuweather code to get rid of that loading....
