• jQuery library. (1.6.0 minimum)

• The JavaScript file jweather.js (or its minified version jweather.min.js)

• The css file jweather.css

Including files:

<!-- include jweather.css and copy the font folder to one folder above your /css folder -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jweather.css" />
<!-- include a copy of jquery (if you haven't already) -->

<!-- include jweather -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jweather.js"></script>

Required HTML structure

Have a target for where you want it shown

Initialization

All you need to do is call JWeather.js inside a $(document).ready function:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var example = $("#example").jweather({
      location: "Nuevo Casas Grandes, CH", //city and region *required
    });
});
