[fusion-users] Maptips on Mapserver

Wed Sep 3 22:32:10 EDT 2008

Marc,

couple of things -

1.  Why is the maptip container an LI element?  That seems odd.  It  
looks actually like you've assigned your MapTip widget to something in  
a toolbar?  You should not put it in a toolbar, but rather add an  
extra div to your page.

<div id="maptipContainer"></div>

2. You need to add the z-index on this container object:

#maptipContainer {
   position: absolute;
   z-index: 101
}

3. Starting with ffox 3 you need to assign z-indexes to other things  
that are parallel to the maptip container, in this case the div with  
the id 'thePage':

#thePage {
   zindex: 1
}

should do the trick.  I think IE is similar in this respect.

Cheers

Paul
