[Mapbender-users] GUI elements are not arranged in iframe

Hello,

for everyone interested in the solution...

The problem seems to be caused by unnecessary uses of the javascript "parent" element. E.g. if you make the following changes in javascript/ovnf.php, the overview works fine, both when the gui is loaded inside an iframe or loaded directly in the browser:

parent.eventInitMap.register(function init_overview(){ ...
must be changed to: 
eventInitMap.register(function init_overview(){ ...

By the use of the "parent" element the script tries to perform the function outside the iframe and of course this fails.


By removing unnecessary "parent" elements I could also get all other tools to work with my GUIs inside an iframe (and they also still work when I load the gui directly). More examples:

javascript/mod_highlightPOI.php -> function mod_highlightPOI_draw():
var $div = parent.$("<div id='" + mapObject.elementName ... 
change to:
var $div = $("<div id='" + mapObject.elementName ...


javascript/mod_measure.php -> function mod_closePolygon(), function mod_rubber(),function mod_getArea():
By removing every "parent." within onmouseup, onmouseover und onmouseout in these function, the measure tools displayed inside the map are working.

Best regards,
Sebastian
