Thanks Mark and to everyone who has sent me feedback. I've received several comments from various people on how easy it is to find content, and that is thanks to Exhibit.
There are two bugs that keep coming up in most Exhibits I work on. I need to do more research on the exact cause but thought I'd mention them here. 1) Use of the GMenuMapTypeControl() in the Map View. The map control disappears when leaving, then returning to the Map View. Sure seems like a javascript/jQuery error. The drop-down menu works great if you don't have much real estate on your page, or have many custom map types. 2) In the Tabular View, sorting on fields with multiple items returns an error. The error appears periodically; I haven't noticed a pattern yet. One potential work-around would be for a way to turn off sorting for certain columns. I'll add them to the issue queue if not already there. Both of these have been mentioned before. - John ************************************************** John Callahan, Geographic Information Scientist Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware URL: http://www.dgs.udel.edu ************************************************** On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 8:38 PM, mleden <[email protected]> wrote: > Very impressive work, John.
