[maplab-users] MapEdit preview problems

[Matt Doggett]

Well, for some mysterious reason, my preview function now appears to
work-in part.  It might have something to do with proj.4.  I came to the
part of the tutorial dealing with projections and found the archived
message about a newer epsg file that must be installed.  So I did that
and now preview works.except:

1. This is a deficiency in the MapLab distribution.  In the preview
window Legend, there are numerous "little red x's" where images are
supposed to be but the server can't find them.  Apache error_log
reported a file not found:
[Thu Mar 27 16:07:12 2003] [error] [client 128.193.65.36] File does not
exist:
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/maplab/htdocs/mapedit/images/icon_prop_none.gi
f

So I looked around and discovered the file
.../maplab/htdocs/mapbrowser/images/icon_prop_none.gif.  Figuring that
this is the same image, I simply copied icon_prop_none.gif into the
mapedit/images directory and it solved that problem.  

That one was easy. Now the tougher one:

2. When I click on one of the radio buttons in the Legend, I get a
Javascript error stating:
"A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug?  Line: 100 Error:
Object expected".  When I look at debug mode the problem is in the html
code : <input type="radio" ..> corresponding to the radio button I just
clicked. I believe the issue is with the onClick statement:
onClick="javascript:radioSelect( 'bathymetry' )".  But that's about as
far as I can go for that one.  Any takers on this?

ps. I'm using IE6.0 on Win2K to access MapLab on my Linux server.

(RedHat8.0, Apache2.0, Mapserver 3.6.4, Php4.2.3)
