[Cartoweb-users] Cartoweb and Firefox 3

[Bruno Friedmann]

Dear Chris,

If you missed it in the Pierre message : there an attachement which is the patch proposed
I paste it below

diff -u -8 -r1.5 dhtml.css
--- htdocs/css/dhtml.css	8 Nov 2005 13:09:55 -0000	1.5
+++ htdocs/css/dhtml.css	3 Jul 2008 08:16:09 -0000

 #map .dhtml_element_off {
   position: absolute;
 }
 #map .dhtml_element_selected {
   position: absolute;
 }
 #map .layer {
   position: absolute;
+  -moz-user-select: none;
 }
 #map .vertex_off {
   position: absolute;
   overflow: hidden;
   width: 8px; /* must be set in pixels */
   height: 8px; /* must be set in pixels */
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;

just add the line
-moz-user-select: none; as indicate

But try it and give us some feedback. It work clearly well under what I have.
CW3.4 cvs head and firefox3 64bits under openSUSE 10.3.

I've not test it in other variation.

Hope this help you a bit.
