[Chameleon] Broken image instead of a map in IE

Hi Ded,
I know that not all machines running IE have it. Most computers I ran
into did, and the registry entries fixed it for each. Although in your
instance (a single image), it would not be logical if the problem was
related to too many requests. Not sure what it could be.....
Unfortunately I have not been able to get Microsoft feedback. They're
hard to reach, and tend to forward you to a third party forum, full of
people telling you that the problem is my own fault because I must have
installed bad software...
I'm not sure what you could do, except using an 'onError' patch, to
reload when the image fails. In MapDHTML.js, line 557, I have:
content = "<img id=\"MapLayerDivImg\"
onError=\"imageErrorOccurred(gMapDHTMLURL)\" name=\"MapLayerDivImg\"
src=\""+gAPixel+"\" width=\""+gMapWiWidth+"\"
height=\""+gMapWiHeight+"\" border=\"0\"
onload=\"MapWHideActivityLayer();\"
onmouseover=\"MapWCaptureMouse(arguments[0]);\"
onmouseout=\"MapWReleaseMouse(arguments[0]);\">";
Then at the end of MapDHTML.js, I put:
//------------------------------------------------------------
var backupURL = "";
function imageErrorOccurred (mapurl)
{
//alert (mapurl);
document.images["MapLayerDivImg"].src =
document.images["mapimage"].src;
backupURL = mapurl;
setTimeout("reloadImage()",500);
}
function reloadImage()
{
document.images['MapLayerDivImg'].src = backupURL;
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------
This does not prevent it from occuring, but as soon as the image fails,
it reloads it. Typically the user won't realise anything went wrong.
Regards,
Jacob
