Hello,

I have a rough test map here  - http://www.genresourcesonline.com/labemap.htm

I have counties outlined and I am trying to use the TLabel script to
put in the names of the counties with a link to a page.

My problem is that I can not figure how to put the label over the
poly.  I have used a variety of z-index entries but no success.  I
would really like to put the label over the poly overlay first of so
it would be more visible and secondly so that I could you a link.

I am a novice at this and I have spent a day on it trying different
things.  If someone could give my some assistance I would greatly
appreciate it
Thanks!

You could change your copy of the code of tlabel to place the label on a
higher plane, by replacing occurrences of G_MAP_MAP_PANE with, say,
G_MAP_FLOAT_SHADOW_PANE.

What happens is that the map planes each have their own z-index value.
The z-index of an element only changes its position relative to other
elements in the same pane. This allows the markers on G_MAP_MARKER_PANE
to use the whole range of z-index values without any possibility of them
going above the info window graphics which are on G_MAP_FLOAT_PANE.

ELabels are placed on G_MAP_FLOAT_SHADOW_PANE which ensures that they
are above everything except the info window and the invisible click
targets of the markers.

Thanks a bunch for your reply.  I couldn't get that to work either.
So I ended up using your ELabel script instead and worked great!!

Thanks!
