[ka-Map-users] XMLoverlay label

[Maxime Phaneuf]

Hello again guys.

Thank you PG I solved my problem. I did not declare my function at the right
time.

But unfortunetaly, I've got another problem. I implemented a onmouseover() that
makes a pop-up appear with the ID of the XMLpoint under the cursor.

I just added this:
this.div.onmouseover=function(){ overlib(pid, STICKY,
    CAPTION, 'Info')};
    this.div.onmouseout=function(){ nd() };
in the KaXMLPoint function in KaXmlOverlay. I also added the overlib library.

My problem is that I want to call the label of the XMlPoints. As you can see,
right now I'm only calling the ID (pid). Is it possible to call the label of a
XMLPoint? If so, how can I do it?

Thank you
Maxime Phaneuf


For the problem with IE may be you could find usefull the hint in the Wiki
Page

   http://ka-map.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php/Overlay_API_Reference#FAQs

For the linestring, a possible issue is to call too early the kaXmlOverlay
APIs: you should wait the map is fully initialized.
