[Chameleon] maptips / IE vs Firefox

[William Bronsema]

Hi Josh,

This was a known issue and has been fixed in the CVS version.  
Unfortunately, it is related to the way IE processes events and the fix 
is rather ugly. 

If you are not in a positon to use the latest CVS version, you'll have 
to maually edit the "htdocs/widgets/MapDHTML/MapDHTML.js" file.

Find the three occurances of the line:

gMapDHTMLForm.submit();

and replace it with:

if (CWCIsIE)
{
    window.setTimeout( 'gMapDHTMLForm.submit()', 5 );
}
else
{
      gMapDHTMLForm.submit();
}


Let me know if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Bill
