Hey Brent: First, the fishing. Caught one walleye and promptly performed at an involuntary catch and release. Bounced the sucker rigth of the pontoon floor...
Anyway, to answer your questions: 1) No, I've not tried using dbox with absolutely positioned anchors. The use of relatively positioned anchors was done in the first place to deal with browser problems reporting the pixel coordinates of the upper left-hand corner of absolutely positioned elements. That's why you always see framed interfaces where the map can be positioned in the upper left-hand corner. I'll have to set up a test to learn more. (Let me know if you find anything...) 2) It's still there. Instead of distributing a full verion of the X library we built a custom one that contains just what we need. Steve >>> "Brent Lund" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/12/2006 3:07 PM >>> Steve, 1) Have you used the dbox toolkit in conjunction with things like position: absolute and z-index:2 ...? When I added these to my html/css, I found that firefox got messed up (mouseover etc did not work), IE kind of works - (mouseover worked and able to zoom in, but box not drawn when selecting zoom area). I know that dbox and dcontainer set position to absolute, so there is a conflict between the scripts and my stylesheet. I'm currently picking through the scripts to see what I can figure out - any suggestions? 2) What happened to the cross-browsers.com stuff (just curious)?

You can get at it at: http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tools/dbox The code itself is in good shape and much of it has been in production use for years. The packaging, install instructions and such are brand new so bear with us. Anyway, the distribution comes with an example interface using the Itasca data from one of the main demos. You can see it running on our servers at: http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tools/dbox/example/example.html Hopefully someone will find this useful... Steve
