C to F function for AJAX pages

Internet Custom Templates and Scripts

Another function suggestion to those of you using the AJAX Carter Lake template on how to clean up your scripts.

Instead of doing the math here:

temp = (1.8 * x.responseText.split(' ')[4]) + 32.0;

create a function and add it to the top of the AJAX script section

function convertCtoF(celcius) // Take temperature value in Metric (Celcius) // and convert to Fahrenheit { return (1.8 * celcius) + 32.0; }

then whenever you need to convert, just use the function. For example:

temp = convertCtoF(x.responseText.split(' ')[4]);

Since you have to use this conversion several times on your page for temps and trends, it’s a cleaner approach.
