If you miss features please also add a bugreport. Bugreports by email are also welcome, but I have many mails in my inbox and reports get lost for sure. Help: If you want to help, there are many things to do: 1.) Internet Explorer support. That should be relative easy if you are able to debug javascript. I don't have windows here and can't debug. 2.) Markers Have a look at google maps API and do something like that. 3.) TileServer At the moment only mapnik is supported. It should be very easy to support other tile servers. Have a look at google or openlayer API. 4.) Keyboard support Make a list of keyCodes and the corresponding actions. 5.) Try to use the API and document it at the github WIKI at github http://wiki.github.com/robotnic/khtmlib/ Commercial support: bernhard zwischenbrugger bz(@)datenkueche.com have fun Bernhard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
