Taco: I work on GIS apps as well (ESRI's ArcIMS). I have used DynAPI for several different GIS applications basically because ESRI threw together some nasty looking javascript to get their dhtml to do rubberbanding and moving. I would show you my current application but I'm not able to put my development box outside the firewall. So I have put a basic example of a zoom box up on the main server.

It is possible to select an area on the map to zoom in to. It should work as follows: the user clicks (and holds) the left mouse button, when the user moves the mouse it should show a resizing rectangle of the selected area. When the user releases the mouse button a function should be called to zoom into the selected region. Probably the solution should be something like onMousedown create new transparant Selection Layer (with four border layers in another color), onMouseMove resize the Selection Layer and onMouseUp finish selection and call zoomin function. When I look at the example that comes with DynAPI 2.5.6 (dynapi.event.mouseevents.htm) I see that the mousedown and mousemove events work, but when I release the button now event is caught. Can somebody help me with some sample code to realize this? Thank you in advance. With kind regards, Taco Ditiecher. _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dynapi-help
