Thanks Paul.
I had Firebug installed but was never quite sure how to use it. The
problem was in the mapfile. I downsized the mapfile for testing
purposes. While debugging I came across some other errors. I am not
sure the process to bring them to the attention of the group or to
submit a ticket?
But here is what I found out.
In the /fusion/template/mapserver/standard/index.html on line 131 reads
<img src="images/PoweredBy_MapServer.gif" width="137" height="18"
border="0">
But the image in the image directory is PoweredBy_en.gif.
The other typo (invalid path) I found is in the TaskPane.js. On lines
49 through 52, the images is referenced as png. But in the images
folder, the images are gif. For example,
this.defHomeIcon = 'images/icon_home.png';
this.defPrevTaskIcon = 'images/icon_back.png';
this.defNextTaskIcon = 'images/icon_forward.png';
this.defTaskListIcon = 'images/icon_tasks.png';
I am not quite sure the best way to fix this, whether to update the
image files or the index.html and TaskPane.js.
And yes, I still need to update the tutorial of the missplaced "x" (this
was discussed in an earlier post). I am just finding it a little
confusing how to edit the Wiki. Eventually, I will take the extra extra
(duplicate intended) time to figure it out.
Thanks again.
