Overview
This proposal is to extend the property pane of the AJAX viewer so that it can display properties for multiple selected features
Motivation
The current AJAX viewer does not provide the ability to display the properties of multiple selected features. In its current form, the property pane will simply show the number of properties selected. This is not a satisfactory solution. To get the desired functionality at the moment requires a customised development effort (eg. A task pane script that processes and displays the map selection set). This functionality should already exist out of the box.
Proposed Solution
The proposed solution is to use the current property pane widget in Fusion as a starting point in which to implement an equivalent version for the AJAX viewer. This will then need to be ported to .net and Java so that all 3 viewers have the same functionality.
Implications
This is strictly a client-side modification. No server-side APIs are affected. No xml schema changes are required. Depending on how the proposed solution fleshes out, newer AJAX viewer APIs may be introduced.
Test Plan
Verify new selection functionality for all 3 viewers using the following suite of web browsers:
- Mozilla Firefox (3.0, 3.5)
- Internet Explorer (6,7,8)
- WebKit (Safari, Google Chrome)
- Opera
Funding/Resources
Community-based.
