The one site where I could actually figure out what was going on was
based on MapGuide 6.3.  This is a proprietary technology, which is
reliant on an ActiveX control (or old netscape plugin).  MapGuide 6.x
was actually a pretty decent tool in its day (we use it at the City of
Nanaimo) but I sure look forward to moving away from ActiveX and
embracing a cross-browser open source tool.
