Here is something I did just as an experiment - have never used it for anything. I'm pretty sure I copied it from someone else on QlikView but can't remember.

It runs on a variable (vCity) which you can change - see the input box below the weather data. If you want to hard-code to Karachi then set the variable in the load script.

Yes it is very simple. As you have said - just take the load script from the 'Weather' tab.

As I mentioned, if you want to hard-code it to Karachi then change the statement:

Let vUrl = 'http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=' & vCity;

Let vUrl = 'http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Karachi';

The rest is then just formatting the controls on the page.
