[ka-Map-users] Resizing map?

[Andy Gross]

I've figured this out - the drawPage() javascript function sets the  
viewport based on the browser window size.

Here's another (possibly dumb) question - is there a way to calculate  
latitudes and longitudes in the browser?   I'd like to put some  
elements that get loaded dynamically (from a 3rd party service)  via  
XMLHTTPRequest over the map, but can't seem to figure out how to  
position them correctly.  I realize this may be more of a general  
trig question, and not something specific to ka-Map, but maybe  
someone has done this before and could help me out.

So, given an array of lat/long coordinates, I'd like to (in  
javascript) :

1) Convert the lat/long to pixel offsets
2) Test if the current viewport contains the point
3)  If so, add an element to the page at the proper offset.

1 and 2 are what I'm having trouble with.   #3 is easy enough (i'll  
track the dynamically created elements and move them along with the  
rest of the tiles)

Anyone have any suggestions?
