Hi Chris

It seems that the patch was "hidden" on the very end of the former mail:

------------------------------

I added just the '-moz-user-select: none;' in my dhtml.css file and it seems to work (firefox3 on windows. On linux i will test tonight). So the #map .layer block looks like:
#map .layer {
  position: absolute;
  -moz-user-select: none;
}


Regards Christoph

Could someone please clarify what is meant by:

"the patch"

and

"set a new property for the #map.layer class"?

I'm just going live with a new Cartoweb application and would like to 
ensure that it is compatible with FF3, but the thread quoted below 
isn't clear to me. Is there a "patch" that is separate from "setting a 
new property"? Or is "setting a new property" the actual patch? In any 
case, what new property needs to be set? Just make up a random dummy 
property?

If someone has the time to provide a simple, specific step-by-step, 
I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Chris
