    Issue Creating Live Tile That Updates


    Hi,
    I had created a Windows Vista/7 Gadget to gather weather information from the following site: http://orsl.montana.edu/weather/ORSLweather.php. This is basically an image that updates every five minutes with the latest climate info from a weather station at a University. Pinning the site doesn't create a tile that actively shows the latest image, so I am trying to create a live tile for use with Windows 8/10. While I have some coding experience, I am not a programmer and am getting stymied making this seemingly simple task occur. Below are copies of the XML and HTML files I used for the Gadget I created for Vista/7.

    If this goes beyond help I can get here and there is a better source for this do not hesitate to point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    **** GADGET-XML ****
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <gadget>

    }
    </style>
    <script>
    function loaded()
    {
    window.setInterval(refreshImage, 60 * 1000);
    }
    function refreshImage()
    {
    window.location.reload(true);
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="loaded()">
    </body>
    </html>

    can user enter text into live tile?

    Is it possible to create a live tile on WinPhone 8 that has user controls?

    For example, the Live Tile accepts user input? and have a "submit" button right on the Live Tile?

    Family room - Windows Phone 8 - Notifications

    Hi,

    i love using the family room options available in windows phone. i have created a live tile for the family room . But however the live tile doesn't update information . For ex: if a member adds photos or updates notes in family room , the live tile remains
    static and hence i always miss out on the updates happening inside family room. It requires the member to manually go inside the family room to check for any updates in various sections. I feel that microsoft must introduce Live Tile updations and Notifications
    for activities under family room.
