service... they are just woefully inadequate. With 2.0 and the use of
Openlayers we could use the more google-style popups which seem to be
more useful for some people.<br>
<br>
I'm just working out how to best accommodate everyone's needs when we go back to the drawing board on the popup functionality.<br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: "Fischer, Brian" <bfischer@houstonengineeringinc.com><br>To: Jay Kapalczynski <jkapalczynski@ci.maple-grove.mn.us>; geomoose-users@lists.sourceforge.net; geomoose-developers@lists.sourceforge.net<br>Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 1:30:07 PM<br>Subject: Re: [Geomoose-users] [Geomoose-developers] Popups<br><br>

some usability quirks with them. There needs to be some time invested to
get all of it worked out, but they do work. I haven't really used
them in any of my applications so I have not invested a lot of time trying to
figure out a good solution to enhance the end user usability. But I do see
the benefits.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="607432118-11032008"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I personally like the approach where you might have a drop
down menu that only list what data layers the popups are available for
and you select one and that becomes your active popup layer. That layer
would always remain on during all navigate functions and would only be turned
back off when a user selects a different layer or sets it to "none". If
you made a popup stick it would disappear on any navigate. You also would
not be able to print the popups. Just thinking out loud hear.
Thoughts?</font></span></div>
