[ka-Map-users] code changes in cvs

[Brent Pedersen]

hi paul, thanks for all the great work.
i get some errors with the new cvs version:

1. in my javascript console: kaTool_onmouseout is not defined
(kaTool.jsline 227)

2. also in js console 'myKaQuery.activate is not a function'
and the query tool doesn't work. i can fix that by changing to
myKaMap.activateTool(myKaQuery)

this happens with the index.html that you distribute.
i couldn't see how to fix them. any ideas?
