Thanks guys,<div><br></div><div>I am going see how I can implement Len's solution in my current installation. I am going to try both options and see how it works. Len also gave this link earlier on :http://www.klamathdss.org/watershedviewer/# as an example of the identify tool being used with a popup. Any surprises, and I will get back and get some help.
