[OpenLayers-Users] OT: Event propagation problem...

[Jeff Dege]

I had a similar problem, and I hacked in a little kludge to allow me to turn off event propogation entirely:

	var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', mapOptions);
	
	//This is a serious kludge, to allow us to turn off event handling on the map,
 	//when OpenLayers supports no such functionality.
	map.events.idle = false;
	map.events.originalTriggerEvent = openLayersMap.events.triggerEvent;
	map.events.triggerEvent = function(type, evt) {
		if (this.idle) return;
		this.originalTriggerEvent(type, evt);
	};

It's ugly, and it may get me into real trouble, some time in the future, but it works.

If I set map.events.idle = true, no events fire at all.

No response at all, the content covers the whole map interface at the moment. Whether that works as a design (from a user perspective) is yet to be seen.
