[OpenLayers-Users] FrameCloud Hyperlinks IE not working 2.6

Sat Apr 19 02:56:29 EDT 2008

BY way of update on this issue - I have worked around it now by making a
number of page adjustments and only loading prototype on pages that do
not have OL maps installed. This seems to have worked around the error
and I will try to investigate some more is due course. It is strange to
say the least as the two libraries should work together without issue. I
have not been able to determine which library is causing the problem
because it is so strange.

Anyway just wanted to let you all know because if you visit the pages I
have mentioned below the error will not show itself.

HI,

After a whole day of playing with this I am still at a loss. I have
worked out that the problem only occurs when the prototype 1.6.0.2 is
used along side of Open Layers. I cannot get anything out of Firebug
Lite on IE to help me as the event just does not seem to trigger mind
you the status bar reflects the href in the link when you hover over the
link alas it appears that the mouse click event just goes away in IE.
The mouse click is active on the close box just not the contents of the
popup - which is clearly shown in the source code of the page (it is
loaded statically when the page is drawn and not an RSS) so you can
check that the syntax is valid.

Would the load order of prototype and OL make any difference?

If anyone can assist their are two links I can offer showing the same
issue (mid you there are nearly 80,000 pages effected):

http://www.exploroz.com/Customers/Custom_Boat_Loaders.aspx - Click on
the image on the map to open the popup and see if you can click

http://www.exploroz.com/Places/28159/NT/Ayers_Rock_Uluru.aspx - The
popup will fire up automatically

OT NOTE: You will also note that I have completely rebuilt my
topographic Australian base maps using mapserver's new AGG graphics and
used some information I gained from Steve Lime's demo site with it's
nice colour pallet outputformat - makes the png's very small.

Erik,

I am a little miffed as I was able to make the exact same code work on a
page that is almost exactly the same. It is really strange however I
think I have isolated the issue to a problem somewhere between prototype
1.6.0.2 and Openlayers 2.6. Because when I pull the prototype library
from the page the hyperlinks seem to work, mind you one page I do not
have to pull the prototype library and it works (WEIRD). I am still
investigating and will report more when I get to the bottom of the
issue. As you can understand it is very annoying when two script
libraries clash and cause some weird error.

Is using prototype with OL a problem? I have some AJAX code that can be
called from every page of my site and I used the prototype library to
support this, coupled with using the element features of prototype,
would it be better to change my base scripts to use OpenLayers classes?

I do not have a trac account as yet. I have loaded patches (Right Mouse
support) to Trac using the Openlayers user. I have completed the
agreement and sent it in. Is there more I need to do for a Trac user?

I can confirm that these links are *not* clickable in ie6 and yet *are*
clickable in ff.

This looks like a bug. Thanks for the good report with straightforward
link, David. 

Do you have a trac account, could you turn this into a ticket for 2.7?

Thanks!

Erik

Hi,

Just installed the 2.6 release live tonight and did all my testing in FF
using firebug and was happy. Then decided to crank up IE7 and noticed
that in my page the hyperlinks I created inside the FramedCloud do not
work with IE, they are fine in FF and I cannot for the live of me see
why. A page showing the error is as follows -
http://www.exploroz.com/Places/78655/WA/Old_Point_Cloates_Lighthouse_Rui
ns.aspx try clicking on the Diving Directions or Maps & Books links in
IE and they just do nothing - FF works fine. Any ideas?

PS: I have firbug loaded you just need to add ?FB=1 to the address line
to have it load in however I have been unable to make lite work with IE
maybe another problem if anyone has an idea on this one also?
