Hi list, I would like to pan my MapServer image with drag&drop like jbox is doing. But I have realized that the client has to have Java engine installed on their machine to use the jbox functionality. I would like to avoid the Java VM because WinXP doesn't come with a preconfigured Java environment. Is there another way to create this panning tool (like JavaScript?)
