</span></span>Thanks for the link and the info. I didn't realize about the zoom level effect, and I like your refactor ideas, interesting. <br>
<br>
Two questions:<br>
<br>
1.) Using <window>_javascript:foobar</window> I get the <span style="font-weight: bold;">lat,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">long,</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">id</span> from the annotation click, but the
<span style="font-weight: bold;">link</span> is missing. I wonder if the <span style="font-weight: bold;">link</span> is ignored when not using the <window>_blank</window> or <window>_self</window> options?
<br>
<br>
2.) I want RSS 1.0 (<span style="font-weight: bold;">RDF</span>) for
GeoRSS with one geo:lat and geo:long in each <item>, and then
include several plants collected at that point. Any pointers?<br>
<br>
More about me: <br>
<br>
I work at the city of Riverside, California and I'm trying worldKit for mapping locations of <a href="http://www.riversideca.gov/museum/plantcom/plantcom.htm#pcmap">plant collections</a>
from San Jacinto Mountains on the Riverside Museum pages. I've been
able to implement a Google map on some of the plant pages as a
demonstration project, and I've shown people the worldKit too. There is
more excitment about the worldKit using topo map images and Landsat
WMS, and being able to click them back and forth instantly (once the
Landsat WMS images load of course). I wish I could make the topo map
more or less transparent with a slider (another refactor idea?). I
used <a href="http://VB.NET">VB.NET</a>, JavaScript, ArcIMS, and GeoSmart for other sites at
the city of Riverside:<br>

<br><br>Currently
annotations on the same location are just layered on top of each other.
The most recently plotted annotation obscures those beneath it.<br><br>A
complication is that this doesn't only apply to annotations in the
exact same location, but also to nearly the same location. At a low
zoom level, two points on different locations can potentially obscure
each other.<br><br><br>The solution in worldKit would be to introduce
an interaction manager above the level of individual annotations. If a
click falls over multiple annotations, the manager would combine the
result in some way - like passing multiple ids through the javascript,
opening multiple windows, display a flip book like annotation in
worldkit.<br><br>This
will have to wait for the refactor, at which point I think it can be
done easily. This would be a great feature for someone to pick up and
run with.<br><br><br>A solution for you currently would involve, as you
mention, processing of the GeoRSS feed on the server side, and
producing popups containing multiple annotations in response to any
single annotation click. <br><br>I believe worldKit also passes the <link>. <br><br>-Mikel<div><span class="e" id="q_10910f764c49d6a0_1"><br><br>----- Original Message ----<br>From: Bruce Thomas <<a href="mailto:rheotaxis@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br>Subject: [worldKit-dev] multiple events at single locations<br><br>I
have tried using RSS 2.0 to put multiple annotations at the same
location, and only one <item> is visible. I need to allow users
to disambiguate among several (up to seven or eight) different
hyperlinks from the same point on the map. If there is one
<item> in the GeoRSS for each unique location, and using
<window>_javascript:foobar</window>, the
_JavaScript function foobar() could pop open a separate, little window
with all the hyper-links in it, sort of like the cartoon ballon that
opens above Google map markers. Is there any better way? I probably
have to use the ID to call back to the server to get the content that
goes into the pop-up window, but I wonder if I could do it all on the
client side by pulling more information from the GeoRSS that is already
downloaded. The documentation says worldKit displays the annotation
<title> and <description>, but there might be other
<item> childern available/accessible by using the ID passed to my
foobar() function? </span></div><div>_______________________________________________<br>worldkit-dev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:worldkit-dev@lists.brainoff.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
