[fusion-users] Maptips on Mapserver

[Nolte, Tim]

Marc, 

Here is the spec on the Maptip widget:
	http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/Widgets/Maptip

Also, for an example of the Maptip Widget in the
ApplicationDefinition.XML look at the one included in
'fusion\templates\mapguide\standard'.

BTW, I'm very interested in your solution on this. :-)

Hmm, for some reason I added the Widget to the end of one of the toolbar
containers in ApplicationDefinition.XML, so no wonder it was doing that.

 
So that then leads to the question, what exactly is the right way to use
maptip in ApplicationDefinition.XML?

I've got the widget added:

<Widget xsi:type="WidgetType">
<Name>Maptip</Name>
<Type>Maptip</Type>
<StatusItem/>
</Widget>

But now though Maptip.js loads, it never initializes. It was
initializing when I had the Maptip as an item in the toolbar container,
so do I need some sort of container for the maptip that corresponds to
the maptipContainer div?
