[ka-Map-users] setting up keymap and legend

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if there is a better way to customize the display of the legend 
and keymap. I have hacked something together, but it does not scale well when 
the legend gets over about 7 entries.

from kaExplorer/startUp.js:

// i changed the following two lines:
//getRawObject('mapLegend').style.top = parseInt(getObjectHeight(service)) 
+ "px";
//getRawObject('mapInfo').style.top = "0px";

// into these:
getRawObject('mapInfo').style.top = "275px";
getRawObject('mapLegend').style.top = "0px";

I wanted the legend and keymap to be shown on the same panel, and thus hard 
coded these values. I cannot seem to figure out how to automatically set the 
height of the legend or mapinfo section based on the inherent size of the 
legend. i.e. this does not work as expected:

getRawObject('mapLegend').style.top = parseInt(getObjectHeight(service)) 
+ "px";

any ideas?

thanks!
