This example demonstrates the use of the
ALKMaps.Layer.WeatherAlerts layer, and how you can display
popups with detailed alert information when an alert is clicked. This
example also shows how you can customize both the default
ALKMaps.Control.WeatherAlertLegend and
ALKMaps.Control.WeatherAlertOption controls using external
divs and custom css classes.
In order to display the Weather Alert information popups, you will need
to use a ALKMaps.Control.FeatureEvent control to handle
click events on the Weather Alert polygons. Once activated a
ALKMaps.Control.SelectFeature or
ALKMaps.Control.FeatureEvent control, will override any
other event handling on the area of the map covered by features on the
specified layer. This will prevent you from doing things such as panning
if your mouse is located over one of these features. In order to handle
this, you can temporarily deactivate the control. In this example we use
the checkbox at the bottom of the page to demonstrate this
functionality.
