very cool - thanks for sharing. Good to see that the carto.net GUI elements are in use in such projects. The textboxes work better in Firefox 3, since FF3 implements the necessary text DOM methods.
It almost works in Safari native SVG. 2 or 3 issues to fix in Safari and it will work ... Safari recently did good progress. They fixed the annoying repainting bugs and the SVGLocatable and SVGPoint interfaces for coordinate calculations are now supported. A number of the carto.net examples already work in the Safari nightlies. If you are interested in Safari SVG I suggest you do more testing now. Lets hope that the momentum of SVG improvements in FF, Opera and Safari continues at the same pace.
