+ 1 !! Cleared the cache - still no good.I went there and put in my coordinates and submitted and the screen froze up. Had to hit cnt/alt/delete just to get computer going again. Logged back into MSN>FJRForum>WFO clicked on the players tab and darned screen froze again. Tried several times and all I get is a freeze. So I can't bring up the Players screen at all.
This happens sometimes when I click on an embedded e-mail address whatchamacallit, so not really isolated quirk. Java-script thing or what, don't know. Probably a software issue on my damned computer. Oh well, I'll know who's going when I get there
Did your computer freeze up or the map just won't come up? Suggest you try to empty your brouser cache (what I relate to nuking the history files). I guess that frees up some memory. Worked for me, but now when I clicked on Players, the map came up, but not the balloons. Maybe the repair crew is hard at work fixing things...
Yep, map, but no balloons. I never thought at my age I'd whine about wanting a balloon, yet, here I am...
And to think, I didnt even get to see it yet...
oster_oops: 
Haven't checked this one for a few days Matt...I only wish the original move had been as easy! 3500 miles outrunning a severe winter storm last year was no fun. See ya in Utah!
WC, do you mind if I send the above quote to the, um, "right people", as an improvement suggestion to the Maps API? Did you get any errors back from the API?A-ha!!! It WAS youse guys dorking up the map!!!
Check it now... comes up lickety-split in both major browsers!!! B)
WFO Players Map
I won't mention any names - heh - but a good half-dozen of you guys inserted code into your coordinate fields that must have come out of a mapping software program.... some had little "degree" circles in the coordinates, some of you had other sundry machine code (little square boxes or other non-ascii characters), etc, etc
As I've mentioned before, the XML file is *brutally* unforgiving when it is interpreted by the Google Map API; it has to be in an exact, specific format, or it will confuse the Google map interface. The Google Map itself will halt processing, and won't return the web service back to your browser, so your browser eventually stalls.
Guess I have to error-trap the input fields on that form a little more. :glare:
Again, we need the GPS values in DECIMAL format, not "degrees/minutes/seconds".
Also, we do not put a positive sign (+) in front of the latitude coordinates... it's already assumed if you live in Northern Hemisphere, you have a positive latitude coordinate!
Conversley, all North American Longitude coordinates WILL NEED a negative (-) sign placed in your latitude coordinate.... most all WFO players live between -123.xxxx (western Oregon) and -63.xxxxx (eastern Canada).
Sure, go ahead.
Yea, I'll see what the API guys say here, there might be some way of having a "verify" type call or something else that might make it easier for webpage developers to use, but not mess up users with alert boxes that they can't do much about.
Oh, I don't think so......
