It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Me too, Jon. I was hoping I didn't break it.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

It worked just fine for me - neener. Thanks for your efforts Gus. It will be great fun once it is Buffista proof.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My pin is in the right state, but the wrong county. I tried to change it and it scolded me!

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

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?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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.

Whenever's good. I'm very curious (and impressed). It seems to me you could still do cleanup when you validate the form submission, and then you have no javascript dependencies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

What do you mean by usage issues? If it's the database back end, that makes the answers simple -- because they are one.

Both have fallen back into my lap.
