[Chameleon] Certain tools not functioning in IE (6.0)

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi Jennifer,

If you're using ms4w, your image paths should be correct as is, but you may want to check your tmp_web_path values, etc., in your chameleon.xml file, just in case.

Regarding the popups: make sure your browser isn't blocking them. Firefox blocks popups by default.

I vaguely remember having run into similar problems when a javascript file (sample.js?) wasn't where the application expected it. Maybe you could check to make sure that is correct. Also, it would help if you could report any javascript errors from the javascript debug console in Firefox, and maybe php errors from the log.

regards,

Jacob

Hi Jacob-

None of the applications causing problems had IMAGEPATH or IMAGEURL tags in the WEB object (only max and minscale).  I added these tags, tested the apps, deleted the final "/", tested, changed the direction of the slashes, tested, etc.  No luck.

And then I realized the error is a little more complicated than I had originally described.   While none of the buttons work in IE, those with pop-ups associated with them have a hover state, but don't do anything.  The other buttons simply do nothing.  After further testing, I realized that none of the buttons associated with pop-ups worked in Mozilla either (but they do have a hover state, just as in IE).  But the rest of the buttons work in Mozilla.

One last note: all of these buttons worked prior to the upgrade of ms4w and chameleon (from ms4w 1.0.3 and chameleon 2.0 to ms4w 1.2.1 and chameleon 2.2).  Could it be something with the way the new installation handles these widgets?

Again, thank you very much for your help!

Hi Jennifer,

I have had the keymap disappear as well. I think the cause may be that Chameleon adds too many slashes to the web image path. Firefox can deal with that, but IE sometimes doesn't. Try removing the trailing slash from your web image path. Check the URL of the keymap in chameleon, and see if it is valid.

Maybe that will fix some of the other issues you mentioned. They all appear to work for me, so it is probably something in the configuration......

regards,

Jacob

Hello All-

We are running ms4w 1.2.1 and chameleon 2.2 and have a number of demo applications running.  All of the applications (except one) are having trouble running in internet explorer (6.0), but work fine in firefox.  Specifically, the key maps do not appear, and the only button-style tools (e.g. not "zoom factor" or "quick zoom") that work are 
-zoom to bounding box or point
-legend
-mapsize
-maptips.

The remaining button-style tools do not work (in addition to the key map not appearing):
-zoom in
-zoom out
-zoom to full extents
-recenter
-identify
-pan
-measure
-the pan arrows surrounding the main map
-the mini buttons below the key map box

I have read the list-serv entries for problems with IE and checked that form method=post, and any other things I could think of.  I also compared the templates for these applications to the one that works and came up with nothing.  I would really appreciate any ideas or solutions.  Thanks in advance for your help.
