Hey,
unfortunately I work on a FreeBSD box and cannot use IE. Fortunately I am not a developer anymore and don't care too much. But someone with a Windows box will hopefully be able to look into it Monday (nudge, nudge) and get this great application work under IE too. 

But this is actually not the issue of my mail. 

Len,
would you be interested in contributing your funky buttons and layout for the next release (will come before FOSS4G)? Mapbender suffers design a lot and your app looks really neat! You can contact me directly or talk about this on the Mapbender lists. 

Your application would also be a great addition to the Education Committee of the OSGeo and is a nice showcase for use of OGC specifications. From the URL of the WMS I can see that the maps come off the same server, is the WFS also accessible directly? Then we could use it in the Integration  Showcase at FOSS4G. Are you coming there too? 

Really well done job, congratulations!

Best regards, 
Arnulf. 

PS:
We are working on i18n so that in future you will not see "Kein Ergebnis." anymore when your search tunrns up no result... I would also suggest to add a check to the "Upper case" box in the module WFS conf so that you also find results for "roseville" and not only "Roseville"
