    We are currently contemplating a rewrite of the map page to take into account some very new web technology which will lead to a much more structured codebase so therefore much easier for maintenance and updates.
    The current map page is done using Jquery and google maps. Liberal use of Jquery seems to lead to very unstructured code with DOM manipulation in random places, most of it is probably mostly our fault. We have tried to keep all DOM manipulation in once place but sometimes...
    It seems to lead to issues like this...doing a large bit of code that does X, leading to a temptation to think I'll just do some DOM manipulation here at the end of this process (then all hell breaks loose<g>)

    The newer technology is called Angularjs and leads to a nice controller/view model which is kind of nice and easy to maintain, we'll see how it goes....

    So we are looking for suggestions/criticisms/ideas/bugs/thoughts in fact any feedback really:)

    In the immortal words of Eric S Raymond: plan to throw one away, because you will. (And if you plan to throw one away, you'll throw away two!)

    Good luck with the rebuild.
