My thoughts are you have to do this server side. The sidebar needs to get the comments and then pass them to a servlet which will write them to a database. Got a question mark them on passing up an image of the map or whether you can pass url, extent, size etc to servlet which then runs a copy of openlayers to recreate the image. -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
