<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have MapBender application where users can add WMS dynamically. Map files are generated from user input and geo-data in postgis.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The MapBender gui is enclosed in a outer iframe (myFrame).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Everything works ok in MapBender 2.1, but not anymore since we migrated to MapBender 2.4.2. We want to make use the extra functionality in MB 2.4.2.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here is the javascript code where the WMS is added.</FONT>
</P>
<P><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><script language="javascript"></FONT></I>
<BR><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">function addWMS(caps){</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var oMyFrame=parent.mainCenter.frames['myFrame'];</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var oLoadData=oMyFrame.self.frames['loadData'];</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var oTreeGDE=oMyFrame.self.frames['treeGDE'];</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var oMapframe=oMyFrame.self.frames['mapframe1'];</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">url = "<A HREF="http://mxs092:8081/mapbender/php/mod_createJSObjFromXML.php?caps=">http://mxs092:8081/mapbender/php/mod_createJSObjFromXML.php?caps=</A>" + escape(caps);</FONT></I>
<BR><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">oLoadData.document.location.href = url;</FONT></I>

<BR><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"></script></FONT></I>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The above code works ok in MB 2.1</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In MB 2.4.2 the following error appears</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#000000">
<IMG SRC="No%20AttachName" alt="ole0.bmp"></FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It says that "</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The property or method is not supported by this object</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">".</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The error i think is caused by the call "</FONT><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">parent.mod_addWMS_refresh();</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">" in the MapBender module</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mod_createJSObjFromXML.php</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The parent in this case is the outer iframe which encloses the MapBender gui. This iframe does not know the function mod_addWMS_refresh which is defined in the javascript</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mod_addWMSgeneralFunctions.js.</FONT></I></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The function</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mod_addWMS_refresh</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> in turn calls another function</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mb_mapObjaddWMS</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> defined in</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">map.js</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">, which i think does some housekeeping for adding WMS layers to an internal array of WMS objects.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can someone tell how i call the external java functions</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mod_addWMS_refresh</FONT></I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">and</FONT><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mb_mapObjaddWMS</FONT></I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> outside the MapBender context, for example in a php script, where a request is done like </FONT></P>
