[fusion-users] Maptips on Mapserver (was: PanQueryandpinkbackgrounds)

[Paul Spencer]

I think Jason's point was that we should consider offering a callback  
system so that app devs can provide their own formatting and a default  
formatter that does something relatively simple.  If this was what he  
was suggesting, then I think it is a great idea and matches the  
pattern established for legend and selection already.

Cheers

Paul
