Map24 HTML Objects

Map24 HTML Objects display HTML formatted text, images, tables, and forms in a separate frame that is pushed onto the map. HTML objects support the most common HTML tags and attributes. The Map24 specific subset of HTML is called "MHTML". The MHTML specification is based on XHTML 1.0. The attributes conform with the rules of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Style attributes allow you to determine the layout of HTML objects.

Like any other Map24 map object the Map24 HTML Objects are pushed onto the map using Map24 MapletRemoteControl (MRC) commands. Two MRC commands are needed to push an HTML object onto the map. Both requests are SOAP requests sent to the Map24 Web service 1.5 SOAP interface:

• A DeclareMap24HTMLObject command to add the HTML object to a Map24 session as described in section 1.1: Declaring Map24 HTML Objects).

• A ControlMapObject command to make the HTML object visible on the map, passing the MapObjectID of the HTML object in the request. The ControlMapObject request is described in the Map24 MapletRemoteControl User's Guide.
