[Geomoose-users] Popup dilemma

[Mike Hamby]

Greetings,

 

I am trying to create a point layer for our law enforcement folks to
quickly show location and contact information of officers living near an
incident site. The idea is to search for the address of the incident,
center the incident site on the map at a scale of about 1:50000. Then,
activate the popup flag and mouse over the nearest officer's residence
symbol for contact information. Everything seems to work except the
popup stuff. 

 

In IE7 I get the popup information to display with the mouse over the
point or any where along a line from the point to the upper left corner
of the map. Usually any map redraw caused by using the full extent,
previous zoom or next zoom will cause the popup flag to turn red. A map
redraw using zoom in, zoom out, Go!, or the scale box will turn the
popup flag yellow.

 

In Firefox 2, on startup the popup flag is red, if I click on the Go!
Button to redraw at the same scale, the popup flag turns from red to
yellow. If I click on the popup flag it turns green, but no popup info
appears when I mouse over the point or anywhere on the map. Problems
with map redraws are similar to IE7.

 

Popups for other features seem to work fine with an occasional red flag
caused by redraws. All of these popups deal with poly data instead of
point data.

 

Following is the code for the point popup info:

 

<popup shape='point' coords='[shpxy xf="," yf="," proj=image]'>

            <title>[Name]</title>

            <item title="">[Address1]</item>

            <item title="">[Address2]</item>

            <item title="">[Pri_Phone]</item>

            <item title="">[Sec_Phone]</item>

            <item title="--- Emergency contact --- "></item>

            <item title="">[EC_Name]</item>

            <item title="">[EC_Phone]</item>

</popup>

 

Can anyone point me to the problem, or share successful code that does
something similar to what I am trying to do?

 

Thanks much.
