[Cartoweb-users] Cartoweb and Firefox 3

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Hello all,

I was asked to have a look at this problem with FF3 and I think I found
a solution.
The "workaround" is to set a new property for the #map.layer class in
dhtml.css as described in the patch.

Right now, I'm looking for a response from the bugzilla server which
seems to be down currently.

However, I would be happy if you let me know if this works.

Regards,
Pierre
