<div><br>Hi Dean,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can attack the problem in a few ways, but the Rosa applet is for adding map tools onto your map. I'm not so happy with Rosa anymore, users with WinXP and the latest JVM tend to encounter refresh problems with it.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've done it one way by keeping the map within its own frame, and placing layer controls / legend / other stuff in another frame. You could also use an Iframe.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My site is here:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://24.87.220.99/ms/iwafs.html">http://24.87.220.99/ms/iwafs.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>It loads by default with the Rosa applet. You can switch it to a regular non-rosa version using a link in the 'problems/help' tab.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>... It's still a fairly slow website, but blame that on all the crap I have running on my aging home computer and the limits that Shaw puts on uploading data from home connections. If you view it in the evening, my video game addictions may prevent it from loading for you, best to try it during the day (pacific time).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another way, used at my day job, is a Flash interface. All the map parameters are controlled by the interface, it sends requests for new maps. Only the map image itself and the scale bar need to reload when you refresh the view. This website has been demonstrated publicly, but is for a private client.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to see a simple portable Flash interface available for anyone to use in place of the Rosa applet, there's a couple out there that aren't really there yet.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sure other people have other ideas ... such as javascript reloading the image source etc.</div>
<div> </div>
