day and night world map script?

[tapirul]

I was looking for a script that would allow me to display, in real time, a world map with the current position of the sun (showing where is day and where is night, like this one), but without any luck. I tried this script without success (probably messed up with the installation, especially the folder where the images are supposed to go; the first map though, it's much better - they got it from NASA)
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot

The images go in your root directory for your forum. I got it to work in a scriptbox, but the block didn't expand fit the image. There's probably some javascript thing that you need to tell it how big the image is.

can't make it work....

What is it doing -- or not doing?

[tapirul]

it doesn't show the content of the box (it shows only the frame/title if I choose)
Other scriptboxes work.

You don't get a red X where an image should be? If you do, then your images are in the wrong place. If not, it could have to do with your browser. Javascript is notoriously hinky across browsers. I'm using IE6 and saw it just fine.

no, i don't get anything. Looks like this (it's the "day and night" box):


Other scripts work, though (I have FF2.0)

PS the pictures are in forum's root, and are chmod-ed

It's hard to know, then, since it worked just fine for me. All I did was copy the code from the site and past it into a scriptbox.
