[Mapserver-users] jBox Announce

[Stephen Clark]

Rihard and others,


I am trying to implement the "Cursor Coordinate Display" functionality. It
is not working.

This is what I gave so far:

function mousemove_handler(name, x, y)
{

// geographic coordinate translation goes here
  document.mapserv.mapOverX.value = x;
  document.mapserv.mapOverY.value = y;


  // option to window status bar output
  window.status = "x: " + x + " y: " + y;
}


Nothing happens in the window status area
I am using IE 6.

Can you help?

thanks,
Stephen

> Mapplet was a Java applet that allowed the user to drag a box across a map

for

> swapping allows the applet to update the map image without having to
reload

> Image dragging for use in conjunction with panning. 2. Line drawing to be
> used in conjunction with distance scaling in a manner similar to the
> distance or ruler tools in ArcView and MapInfo. Area calculations will be
> added to the line drawing function in the near future. There is also a
