So This is the ArcGIS Server ADF?

2006-12-05T15:34:09Z in industry, web

It's an improvement over the abysmal ArcIMS client, for sure, but is less impressive than all the hype suggested. The HTML table of operation panes looks and feels clunky. Reordering the panes conflicts with Firefox's right-click menu. The scale bar is nowhere near as sexy as Tim Schaub's (in PrimaGIS and OpenLayers), and the scale slider is nowhere near as smooth as the one in Google Maps. I was expecting it to feel more usable and look more appealing.

Hi, I posted this on the blog in question, but I see that it was since edited out. The ADF application doesn't work too well on a mac: with safari or firefox, with JS errors and the like. Last night I wasn't even able to see the TIN. This morning I was able to see the TIN, or rather the tiled version of a TIN, however none of the analysis worked. Frankly, I saw better response times from the experimental pywps project! (https://wald.intevation.org/projects/pywps/ ) Cheers, Dylan

Dylan, I see a comment on that blog attributed to you. Comment scrubbing is a pretty strong accusation. Are you sure?
