[mapguide-users] IE, AJAX and Tooltip Images

[Andy Morsell]

Hi Scott,
 
I haven't seen that before with non-image HTML in the tooltip.  I played
with it for awhile on my end and could not replicate that using HTML <table>
elements.  It may have to do with the speed of the data retrieval through
FDO during the individual AJAX call backs.  If it is slow enough to respond,
I could see where the behavior may be similar to what I'm seeing with
images.
 
I did enter a ticket into Trac for this, so hopefully we'll see some
attention to this item in the near future.
 

Andy

Hi Andy,

 

I experienced the flickering tooltip on IE without referencing an image. In
my case, I was trying to display a two-column <table> element with a few
rows, displaying a set of property/value pairs for the selected object. On
Firefox it works great, on IE the tooltip flashes continuously. Have you
seen this behavior?

This was a topic many months (or more like a year) ago.  When images are
referenced in the tooltip for a layer, the AJAX viewer with Internet
Explorer can yield some very odd results.  If it takes too long for the
image to be returned, say more than 4 or 5 seconds, it's like it tries to
call the image again and then this causes a loop which makes the tooltip to
appear to blink.  For an example that I just ran into, see
<http://mapguide.spatialgis.com/mapguide/spokanemaps/>
http://mapguide.spatialgis.com/mapguide/spokanemaps/.  When you float your
mouse over one of the camera symbols, a DOT traffic camera image should
appear, but often times results in the above behavior.  This works just fine
in Firefox.

Should I enter this as a bug into Trac?  I think it had been previously
entered into Project Tracker so I don't want to duplicate anything.  Thanks.
