[Mapserver-users] Site Demo / Critique

[Lowther, David W]

Dan,

Thanks for the kinds words and the bugs. Do you get that error still? The
line was commented out when I got to it, but someone here may have beaten me
to the punch.

I haven't been able to figure out how to keep mapplet from allowing a box at
any time, but I also haven't spent any time on it as we are trying to get
off the java app and into DHTML - phase next. We should be able to deal with
it there.

Probably should reign that legend width in...

As far as the label check goes, it comes as a result of a deep homage I have
paid to the HTML Legend supreme being(s). And, I am using the legend_order
strictly to make sure that my labels directly follow my layers. That way
when I come around to the label I have left the TD open. I also make sure
that my label layers are named the same as my features like roads and
roads_anno. Since I write the checkbox with the feature. I have also
included metadata like NoLabels for the feature layers  that don't have any
labels. I did the same thing for the ID (NoID). One thing that sure would
make HTML Legends easier is the inclusion of an [else] / [elseif] tag. Maybe
I should file a feature request.

Dave

Looks good.  I like the interface you've built, and I love the many,
many options you offer.  I also like the label checkbox.  I'm not even
quite sure how to do that (with pure-CGI) but I'd like to know.
 
Problems:
1) IE 5.5 is reporting
"'parent.legend.document.mapserv.map_gradysqlRoads_data' is null or not
an object." in this line:
parent.legend.document.mapserv.map_gradysqlRoads_data.value=top.document
.Master.map_gradysqlRoads_data.value;
2) In a very large window the checkbox legend area expands with the
window...probably in a way you don't intend.  It ends up putting the
right set of checkboxes quite far to the right.
3) It wasn't quite obvious to me what the radio buttons were for.
Eventually I figured out they control the query layer.
4) Query mode allows you to draw a box, but the query fails (perhaps it
should be using nquery when a rectangle is drawn?).
