Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What happens when you move it further up, connie? Does it zoom?

Jesse, when you press on the arrows to pan, nothing happens? And when you click on the map to drag it around, still nothing?

Also--can both of you tell me if you still have these problems on the css version?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I can click and drag it, but not all the way over to fill the whole box. There's a gray strip on the right side.

And the css version works as it should. Sweet!

Okay, good. Google's published two versions of the maps, so I'll be implementing v2 when I switch over to the css site this weekend. Was the map properly positioned for you too? I mean, not sitting flush against the left margin?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

ita -- can you email me the css userid and password? What I have doesn't seem to be working.

Yes. US in the middle, as it should be.

Actually, Jon--why don't you email me what you had and I'll change it back. I kinda went brute force to get back in there, since my machines that auto-logged in AND the ones that had my password vaults had failed.

US in the middle, as it should be.

Looks like West LA is in the middle, and I didn't even do that. It was just in a bit of the first sample code I stole.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita, are you eliminating the css.buffistas.net site? Since the net nanny at work has blocked the b.org iteration, it's been my workaround for the last year. I'd hate to see it go, but if it's a resource-hog, I understand.

I hadn't really thought about that--you're in the same boat as Jon, eh?

I wonder if there's a simple way to give you guys a .net way in without maintaining two sets of code.

Either way we'll figure something out.

amy--to answer your press question, I'll migrate the customisations over. Or more probably, I'll forget so remind me.

Yep, but we only need a dinghy, not a yacht. As long as I can read and post, it's good for me. I know Jon will probably need stompy functionality, but I shall be easy to please.
