Hi List,
Crschmidt suggested that OpenLayers need to use SVG Basic in order to render the graphics. After some research about how SVG is enabled on browsers ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(SVG) ), one can see that SVG Basic is supported by Gecko (Firefox's Engine) and almost fully by Presto (Opera's Engine). However the problem is when OpenLayers needs to be used on a Mobile Device. I installed Opera Mobile, but crschmidt and also other research concluded that Opera Mobile supports only SVG Tiny, and Opera developers do not release any details about their projects. Thus, I tried to work on compiling Minimo (Gecko's Mobile Browser) with SVG support but am finding a lot of problems in doing so, so this fix is almost impossible too. Whilst testing on Opera Mobile, lite.html worked fine, and no errors + rendering happened quite fast, however when I tried to access : (http://boston.freemap.in/routing.html ) and some pages that I wrote following this example, I get an error at the start of the script building, map starts being built (no errors here) but when I click on the Start point - error again. Map building took extremely long and a lot of CPU Power. I am testing using a PocketPC Emulator with Windows Mobile 5.0 as OS. I took also crschmidt's advice to check the OpenLayers code and see if I can eliminate the SVG Basic support and just use SVG Tiny, but didn't much get where to change, especially since my Javascript knowledge is at a really newbie state! Anyone has any idea how I can fix this situation please? Anyone else had the same problem? If yes how did you solve it please? Is there any quick hack / fix that you suggest me? Any help will be extremely appreciated!! Regards Matthew _____ I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 20144 spam emails to date.
