[Geomoose-users] Want Maptips for group folders and layers

[Jim Dahl]

One example is worth a lot.  Thanks!  I was using the wrong terminology
like 'title' or 'alt' like I used in the Mapmorph app.  I think the "How
To" gallery is great but I did not see an example for this.

	Jim,
	 
	With a group you can specify a tip attribute like this:
	<group title="Misc." expand="true" tip="Information about this
folder goes here">
	 
	With the layer you can specify a tip, help icon or metadata
icon.  The tip is a maptip versus the help and metadata icons are
hyperlinks to another webpage. Here would put all three on a layer:
	    <map title="USGS Gaging Stations" default="true" tip="This
layer is visible at a 1:1,500,000 scale">
	
<file>/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_statedemo/usgs/usgs.map</file>
	       <meta>http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis</meta>
	       <help>http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis</help>
	  </map>
	 
	With this said anything is possible if you were to dig into the
javascript code and add the behaviour you want or hire a developer to
add the functionality you want to the GeoMOOSE base code.
	 
	Hope this helps,
	Brian

	I want to use maptips to help users know how to better use the
web site.  In particular I want a maptip to briefly describe the folder
or contents.  I probably could link to a help page from the table of
contents but not finding examples.  Any suggestions?
