Next thing to do is remove the following lines from HazardsLayerVis.js:
var oLayer2 = CWCDHTML_GetLayer( 'MapTipsLayer' );
oLayer2.left = 160 + layerWidth;
These lines are causing js errors (which are cascading) because we took
out the layer (presumably MapTipsLayer hasn't been created yet).
I wish I could instruct you on using the Java Debugger but I'm not very
proficient with it either. I rely on the Javascript Console (simple
error reporter) in firefox and Microsoft's Script Debugger for IE. Even
those they're not nearly as comprehensive they're much easier to use (at
least for me).
