Javascript Woes

[Oliver Wesp]

Hello David,

I agree that the script degbugger is not helping in any way.

Seems to me as if IE doesn't like the following statement:

const defaultextent=new Array(475600, 4961800, 492500, 4974600);

Changing this to

var defaultextent=new Array(475600, 4961800, 492500, 4974600);

and the page is loading without any errors. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it's working but it's one step further. Seems to me as if there is still some work to do. But maybe it's just because I'm using a local copy.

Oliver
