[mapserver-users] mapplet boxoff()

[Stuart.Row at brs.gov.au]

Richard,

If you have a look in mapplet.java you will notice that the boxoff function includes a call to 'repaint();' whereas boxon does not. I don't understand why and personally would be happier if it wasn't there, but that is the reason you get the endless loop.

I have removed any calls to boxon and boxoff for this reason. A shame as it is a really useful function. 

Cheers,

Hello Mappers;

I'm having trouble with the Java mapplet boxoff() function. If I go
     document.mapplet.boxoff();
I end up in an endless loop in which the form keeps getting submitted to

the server. boxon() seems to work fine for me.

A simple example of boxoff() would be greatly appreciated even if you
can't 
directly answer my question.

Thanks,
Rich
