What's the catch with ROSA on Windows client PCs

[Ken Lord]

Hi Joaquim,

I've had that problem for a long time too.  At one time another member
of the community posted some code to force Rosa to refresh the map
again when the page finishes loading, which fixed the problem for him,
however I was not able to make it work.

Try searching the MapServer list archives for Rosa and my name, and
you may find the method he used. Perhaps it will work for you.

Cheers,
