I know this isn't a straightforward question but I would really appreciate some feedback on this. This has been my first shot at programming and when I started it, I got some really good help from here.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/bugs/pohjoisespoo/ <- You'll find the site there http://koti.mbnet.fi/bugs/pohjoisespoo/kartta3.js <- All the javascript http://koti.mbnet.fi/bugs/pohjoisespoo/raphael-zpd.js <- The zoom pan drag script (by somnidea) http://koti.mbnet.fi/bugs/pohjoisespoo/sivu.css
Most of my issues are probably caused by my poor programming but also I think the zoom and panning script I'm using (https://github.com/somnidea/raphael-zpd) doesn't work with IE. I'm ready to change the whole script if it's the best option so be honest. However, I don't need IE6 support and I'm fine with even IE7 support missing. However, I believe there's some issues with it on Firefox v.3 as well. Newer Firefoxes and Google Chrome should work.
My next phase is to create a simple collapsible comment section under each of the bubble info sections. I'm guessing PHP is the way to go. What I need is super simple messaging board where conversations can be continued under comments to the main tree which can be collapsed. There's some tutorials for similar things online but if anyone knows a good method I'd appreciate the guidance. As you can guess I have no experience with databases etc. so I don't know if security could be an issue with my beginner skills. I also need a simple moderation tool. Otherwise what i'd like to do is let the users attach pins to the map which would show when a comment is highlighted. Is this kind of interaction between the PHP and JS feasible?
I appreciate any tips with anything.
Thank you for your help, Ilkka Syrjakari
