[Cartoweb-users] Wrong measurement unit

[Dirk Jesko]

Hi Oliver,

thanks. Now I see the problem. It is a problem in the JavaScript part. 
In dhtmlInit.js, the content of the distance and surface tags are read 
from the document tree into variable. If the scale is changed via Ajax 
request, these variables are not updated and the units therefore stay at 
their old values. I think the easiest but possibly not the best way will 
be to set the unit together with the value in dhtmlInit.js instead of 
setting it in the template.

Regards,
Dirk
