Bugs

• Drop down lists in reverse
  
  • I pull the results from a DB that is accessed via a web service. All the returned data is in JSON which is then converted to a JS object. The selection list is populated via a jQuery plugin and it goes though inserting each new one in the selection list.
    
• Map viewer isn't lined up right in IE7
  
  • Using a DIV for layout, works in FF & Chrome, I have tried resizing the DIV without any result in the map rendered by IE7.
    
• Don't change data in info/warn DIV until fade is complete
  
  • Haven't started on this one
    
• The unordered list in the info/warn boxes isn't left justifying in IE7
  
  • I have tried using CSS and classic HTML to left justify them and neither made a difference
    
• The email address validator was incorrectly blocking valid email addresses
  
  • FIXED
    
• Clipping by watersheds does not work
  
  • FIXED
    
• Pressing enter does not submit the search on certain browsers
  
  • FIXED
    
• When you drag to zoom in on the viewer the dragged extent box doesn't show up properly, if at all
  
  • Working on this one
    
• On the services page you can't collapse the current item
  
  • FIXED
    

 

Feature Requests

• A "Working" animation
  
  • ADDED
    
• Results pagination or sorting
  
  • Checked into it, required quite a bit more coding so we decided to just show the top results only if there are too many results
    
• Toggle the column description popup
  
  • I tried this at first but using the jQuery toggle function seems to toggle everything on the page when you use it
    
• Document how to use the map viewers (viewer and advanced search)
  
  • Coming
    
• Document what the map is used for on the adv search
  
  • Coming
