Thanks very much for the AJAX stuf. I didn't go in details untill now and it seems like very good technique. I didn't even realize that ka-Map is done using Ajax. Anyway, what do you think about the AJAX aproach in web mapping applications? Is it very difficult to implement? What are the pros/cons? For which type of data maps should it give a better preformance?
As it is interesting to me, I think I wil give it a try and use it for attribute searching..if nothing else, it will be a good training regards, dejan > -----Original Message----- > From: Armin Burger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 6:58 PM > To: Gambin Dejan > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Combo box for attribute searching > > > The attribute search is a wider field for customizations.
