Here is an alternative method of displaying the widget. In this one it should display your weather according to your IP and also give you the option to view other locations.

To use this method, create a new template called block_weather and copy the following code:

<li>
    <div class="block smaller">
        <div class="blocksubhead">
            <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>
            <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>
        </div>
        <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">
        <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">
<!-- Location Chooser component -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.yowindow.com/js/yolc.js"></script>
<!-- YoWindow widget component -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.yowindow.com/js/yowidget.js"></script>     
    <script language="JavaScript">
 
//To track if commands can be sent to YoWidget
        window.isYoWidgetReady = false;
 
        function onLoad() {
            installLocationChooser();
            installYoWidget();
        }
 
        function installLocationChooser() {
            var place = document.getElementById('location_chooser_place');
//Create YoLocationChooser and keep it as a variable of HTML window
            this.locationChooser = new YoLocationChooser(place);
 
//Subscribe to onLocationChange event
            this.locationChooser.onLocationChange = onLocationChange;
