Hi Melchior,

that's surely a very good idea! Find my thoughts within your mail:

Hi Devs,
I am going to implement a replacement for popup windows to mapbender so
that we no longer run into problems with popup blockers.

as mentioned: absolutely the right decision IMHO.

The idea is to
display things like the featureinfo request results as a layer in the
mapbender window.

you added 2 jQuery plugins to the wiki page, and I'd suggest another candidate: jQuery UI (http://ui.jquery.com/, released yesterday by jQuery main developer John Resig and some other super talented Javascript/Jquery-Gurus). This plugin has been awaited for months by the community and it is actively developed.

I would strongly favor to go with this code... and with jQuery 1.2.1 as well.

Demos:
http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/demos/ui.dialog.html
http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/demos/ui.resizable.html

I created a Wiki-Page with details and Demo screenshot:
http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Popup_replacement

What do you think?

You propose to add jQuery to the mainframe? I'm +1 with that!

As for the problems with the json.js-script: Jquery 1.2.1. is working within a proper Javascript-namespace. Maybe that solves the described bug? I'm not sure... but this is another example that one should think twice when fuddling with prototypes of base types (http://web-graphics.com/2006/05/23/on-modifying-prototypes-of-javascript-built-ins/).

If I remember correctly, there is a plugin for Jquery that does JSON conversion. I couldn't locate it right now, but will keep on searching

regards,
Melchior
