I originally created the alternative Javascript version in December 2011 by editing the DAJ original (with similar aims to BCJKiwi with his PHP version 1.2) to offer easier customisation plus standards compliance, i.e. addressing all the issues [[#Possible_problems|listed below]]. The advantages of my script are fully described in a file within the package.  They include standards compliance, better integration with standard Cumulus pages, statistical additions to the bottom of each month's column,  and easier tailoring to your preferences on wording, language, and text colouring. During 2012-2013, my alternative JavaScript version was rewritten from scratch (losing the original DAJ code), a number of additional features were added, whilst attempting to preserve ease of customisation to suit any requirements you have e.g. on the language and level of diagnostics output.
An [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8690 alternative Javascript/jQuery solution] is in the 3rd party tools sub forum within the Cumulus forum and its advantages are fully described in a file within the package.  They include standards compliance, better integration with standard Cumulus pages, statistical additions to the bottom of each month's column,  and easier tailoring to your preferences on wording, language, and text colouring.

One site using in January 2013 a variant based on an early version of my Javascript/jQuery alternative code, with its own look to the page, is [http://sassafras.id.au/projects/weather/dailyrecords.shtml found here]. Whilst a number of other people have tried later versions of this alternative code, it has not been adopted as widely as the PHP alternatives above, partly because this was designed for easy tailoring, so is not an off the shelf package like all the PHP versions above.

Please note that it is difficult for me to provide any support on the final 15 Jan 2014 7:08 am Javascript package I offer in the forum as I actually swapped to a PHP version of this alternative script, and due to the general lack of interest in the javascript version I had devoted so much time and thought to, I never considered sharing my PHP version.
I originally edited a version in December 2011 from the original to offer easier customisation plus standards compliance etc. (similar aims to PHP version 1.2). During 2012-2013, my alternative JavaScript version evolved so none of the original code remained, while a number of additional features were added, whilst attempting to preserve ease of customisation to suit any requirements you have e.g. on the language and level of diagnostics output.
