Otherwise I've never saw that error.

No, it isn't. It's strange that you've never seen this problem before,
because it doesn't happen to me only, but to my collegue also. Anyway i will
investigate further...


> yes, send it to me. I don't fully understand what it does, but then I will
see. I typically try to reduce tools, also for the latest I took by default
smaller buttons. A DHTML menu where one can put things not directly related
to the navigation (like download, print) would also save some space. And in
pmapper 3 one can finally use easily horizontal toolbars again.

Well, the code is pretty simple indeed. It set the "overflow" value to
"auto" for the toolbar div and just resize first the y dimension of all the
div, then check if the toolbar is visible or not and, according to this, i
resize the toolbar width and all the others widths.
Alternatively i found a nice javascript library which adds nice scrollbars
to a div. I could try to integrate that one.

And about horizontal toolbars, how can i choose to use it? In the config.ini
there isn't no more the "toolBarOrientation" property that was present in
the 2.0 version, you don't check for this variable in the startup_config but
i think it's still this variable that controls the toolBarOrientation...

yes you're right, but if i want to add a button to the toolbar which makes
some actions on the map, for example, there is no way to do it without
adding an "else if" in the domouseclick method, and this is in the p.mapper
core. If i have to insert a button whithout modifing the core, i have to
rewrite all the functions that interacts with the button and the map itself,
and this is not a useful thing i think. And after that how can i add a file
.js with my own functions in the project without modifing the map.phtml
where there is the list of include?
