[Cartoweb-users] Problem with zooming and outlining

[oliver]

Hi kenton.

Im unsure if this will help you but, as far as i know, back and forward 
function wont work well with cartoweb without some serious session reworking 
function. When you use your back or forward button, the session state become 
dissynchronised with what is displayed on screen. Let say you zoomin twice, 
then goes back twice then pan, the pan will be done, accordingly to the 
session state, after the two zoomin actions. So the result will not be what 
you were expecting.
This may be part of the problem. Though it doesnt explain some of the weird 
behaviour you encounter. try to add in your template, somewhere at the 
bottom, the lines:
<pre>
Request:
{$debug_request}
</pre>
this usually help trying to see what is effectively returned to the server.
Also be sure you do not have any javascript errors.

Regards,
Oliver
