Weird Weather Issue

February 26, 2009 10:37 AM from

So I have this script based on Martin's weather gadget. When you click onthe temperature it should change between Fahrenheit and Celcius. The odd thing is after it goes from Fahrenheit to celcius, when you click it again the Fahrenheit temperature and condition changes. I am not sure what is causing it. Can anyone help me? This is a very odd issue.
