[ka-Map-users] Re: [PATCH] Fix IE refresh

[Jon Fatula]

Hi, Ehud,
  Thanks for your patch... when the change in kaMap.js
is added to the current CVS, your fix seems to resolve
the IE refresh bug in the case where there is only a 
single mapfile defined in the $aszMapFiles array 
in config.php.
  When there are multiple mapfiles defined, the IE refresh
still fails for me in the call to myMapInitialized() in 
startUp.js.  At runtime at the entry to the call, the value of

  document.forms[0].maps.selectedIndex

is -1, and oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value can't
be evaluated.  
  I haven't been able to trace the underlying cause, but the 
following two-line workaround added to startUp.js seems to 
run cleanly in IE 6.02.2900 and in Firefox 1.5 on XP, and on 
Firefox 1.03 under RedHat ES:
...
...
function myMapInitialized( eventID, mapName )
{
    //alert( 'ka-Map! initialized a new map: ' + mapName );
    //make sure the map is selected ...
    var oSelect = document.forms[0].maps;
    // begin workaround for IE failure at refresh call
    if (oSelect.selectedIndex == -1)
        oSelect.selectedIndex = 0;
    // end workaround
    if (oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value != mapName)
    {
        for(var i = 0; i < oSelect.options.length; i++ )
        {
            if (oSelect.options[i].value == mapName)
            {
                oSelect.options[i].selected = true;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    //update the scales select
...
...

Thanks again!

-jon

Great.

I think you've missed the small change in kaMap.js. Did you exclude it
by purpose?

Ehud.
