    I installed this WeatherUnderground widget with the following html code but it doesn't render properly. Also, I can't figure out how to set the location on the desktop or move it. This is on an XP system with a 1600x900 resolution monitor and the actual code added to the destop is in blue. The border you see is actually just part of the wallpaper. The issue is the large block of white instead of just the widget! Thank you!

    ratchet, first, see if this helps: How to add a Weather Sticker to your Desktop (Windows only)

    I don't run XP, however, I copied your HTML code (don't know why your img scr is in blue but that particular code is truncated) into Notepad, saving it as widget.html, and it rendered just fine, when opened in IE9. Below is the code for your review:
    Code:

    Thank you for the reply! I'm thinking it has something to do with my monitor's resolution. Oh how I miss a functioning WeatherPulse (The Weather Channel now charging such programs for their data). All of the weather sites have programs but they all have tool bar type things.
