Polylines are not coming in Netscape 8.1

I am working on a mapping project that allows the user to draw polylines. It all seems to work when the user clicks points of the polyline. From there I save the gps coords to a database. When I then retrieve the coordinates and display the polyline it does crazy things. It initially displays correctly but when zooming in, the line sometimes disappears, or draws in incorrect locations. If it does draw in incorrect locations and you pan, the polyline constantly moves.

Can anyone please help, this problem is starting to drive me crazy.

I have included "some" of my code.

function loadMap()

{

mapDiv = document.getElementById("myMap");

new VEMap('myMap');

map.ShowDisambiguationDialog(false);

map.AttachEvent('onmouseup', mapMouseUp);

//Check to see if the path needs to be reconstructed

if(hdnPath.value != "")

reloadPath();

if((hdnPath.value != ""))

Sorry, copy/paste error.

The actual code does read

map = new VEMap('myMap');

I am grabbing the mapDiv for other reasons.

The co-ordinates are fine. It will actually render the Polyline correctly and then zoom to best view. However, when you zoom in to a point that not all points on the polyline are contained within the view, the polyline starts acting crazy. At first I thought something might be happening onendzoom or onendcontinuouspan, however I don't perform any function on these events.

Also, the polyline will render correctly if you zoom back out to at least a best fit view.

The actual behavior makes me think that Virtual Earth is having trouble plotting any points that aren't contained within the current view. If you zoom in on a point on the polyline, it will always be in the correct place, however the line drawn to the next point outside the view will constantly be moving when zooming and panning.

function viewByBoundingLocations()

var latlongArray = new Array();

for(i=0; i < pts.length; i++) //pts is an array of the points on the polyline

{

latlongArray.push(pts);

}

for(j=0; j < pp.length; j++) //pp is an array of any pushpins on the map

{

latlongArray.push(new VELatLong(pp[j], pp[j+1]));

j++;

}

map.SetMapView(latlongArray);

Tried commenting it out, problem is still there.

I am using IE 7, but have tried it on IE 6 and FF 1.x

I have included a picture of what I see at

You can see on the third image that when you zoom in the polyline inverts itself and draws a strait line at the top of the window. very odd.

fyi, I have tried both v3 and v4 of Virtual Earth.

Hi,

You haven't got your Map DIV inside a table cell have you by any chance I had this problem when I had mine in a <TH> cell. When I changed it to a <TD> cell or took it out of the table completely the polgons were fine. Maybe try it with just the map div on its own on a page.

cheers,

Erik

Found the problem.

It turns out that if you pass string values to the VELatLong constructor you will get this behavior.

To fix it, I used parseFloat() and passed those values to the VELatLong constructor.

Not to sure why the Polyline was working at higher zoom levels and not when you zoomed in though. You would think by passing string values it would break altogether.

Right now iam using --

if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) //Non IE

Msn.Drawing.Graphic.CreateGraphic=function(f,b) { return new Msn.Drawing.SVGGraphic(f,b) }

instead of writing if condition specially for Firefox( Ref -- http://www.viavirtualearth.com/Wiki/Firefox2.ashx link).

It is working fine in Opera9.2, mozilla . Right now iam facing some problem related to flcikering of polyline in Firefox. In netscape at present polylines are not coming. Iam working on it - i will share it, if get any solution.

Meanwhile if anybody else any solution, then pls mai at avinash1981@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Polylines instead of Plylines .

sorry for spelling error.
