Mal ,'Objects In Space'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I think there are two itas.
I was mistaken. One of the itas is jenifer.
That Jenifer would be me. I don't know how I misspelled my own name, but then again I for some reason entered my real name instead of fairlite2u, so anything is possible. Gus, you are welcome to change that. Silly me. I don't even post here much so most people have no clue who I am. I just wanted to play.
Gus, I can't make a dot/pin for me. I feel broken and unloved.
I've seen your posts fairlite. Since I almost put in my LJ name, I can sympathize with the mistake. I'm glad you're playing along.
The map, she no work for me. I type in my name and click and get a blank screen. WinXP in both Mozilla 1.6 and IE 6.0.
Me too, Jon. I was hoping I didn't break it.
Yup. The map, she is too fragile for use right now. It was just a protoype hack-up to see if would be useful. I'll bring it back when it is closer to bulletproof.
It worked just fine for me - neener. Thanks for your efforts Gus. It will be great fun once it is Buffista proof.
My pin is in the right state, but the wrong county. I tried to change it and it scolded me!
Gus -- were you making the map a submit button and tracking the coordinates clicked on when the name was submitted?
How were you storing the results? How were you generating the output?
ita, I was using that technique, the map as submit button. However , I yanked all that out in favor of onClick-handling directly, with a 'manual' submit. This gives me chance to clean up the click before it goes, and gobble up multiple submits from double double-clickers and the like.
I'm storing the results in a file and composing with php.
I'll zip up the source later, if you like. Right now, I'm still thumping on it.
