[Geomoose-users] General question related to adding a Splash screen to GeoMoose upon startup.

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Another couple of  thoughts,  Something like a “Get Info’ option on the Mac, where basic installation information might be viewed, even an “About” viewer could be included.

Hmmm . . . .

Another use for this sort of splash Div would be to show content that does not easily fit in the side bar - sort of like an on-screen feature report, that contains lots of related information for a feature of interest. You would click on a feature, the splash screen would load all the goodies from some sort of report service, and then the whole thing could be closed and the user would be right back in the map with minimal disruption.

Not everything fits in a map pop-up or side bar panel...

Hi Dan,

Most of the options I read about were suggestions to using a DIV that you swap out, which seems straightforward enough.  Doesn't seem like it needs to be included in the distro though, although, it does start me thinking on other things like using the DIV to indicate a presence online of a GeoMoose install, stuff like that could be contained in this other outer div separate from the main application interface.

Another random though, I wonder if it couldn't also contain a sort of application console of sorts, similar to the stuff you implemented before Firebug existed.  I know there is the Firebug stuff, but I find myself testing on more than one browser these days, and even a simplified resource console would help.


I'll play around with setting something up and see where it goes.

Thanks


Bobb

IIRC Brian Fischer and the Houston guys had an extension that did exactly that.  It's not too hard to do using either HTML/CSS tricks or some javascript.

My long term hopes are always to have the application load fast enough that a splash screen isn't necessary.
