This weekend fun was adding to my website the cool sliding control from Jérémie Tisseau website. As pretty it was, I immediately started thinking it as a container to my BNR exchange rate page. The coding worked well, with just few modifications.

I created a special page which collects freely available exchange rates from BNR (National Romanian Bank) and presents them in a graphical form. This way, the viewers of my website will always be on the edge with exchange rates, as soon as BNR posts them (usually around 13:00 GMT+2).
One could set a cron job to update his application exchange rates from a server every day at a specific hour so its application will be up to date. I used it because the Romanian National Bank doesn’t have a proper page to check for exchange rates – they present just the numbers, but no trends, no charts – nothing visual.
