Andrew,

  Strange thing is I copied all the files over to a clean FlexViewer (i.e. replacing the index.template.html and giving it a google api key for my site, etc, etc), but the new division that is added never get the google streetview panorama. I put alerts in the the streetview.js to ensure that it was getting to the javascript function. I do like the drag and drop of the googleman though. I am not thrilled with the addition of the division to the main app widow though, screen real estate is to precious now a days and there is some possiblity of not being compliant with Goggles T&C.

Does the full compiled version work for you?

Andrew,

   I downloaded yesterday when there was no compiled version. I will check it out now with the compiled version.

I noticed the pano doesn't show up in Firefox.  I'm using IE 7.0.

Andrew,

   That was my issue I hardly ever use ie anymore I always use firefox. That is going to be a major downfall for your widget if it is only ie compatible.

This is why I posted the code.  I will start looking for a work-around for Firefox etc.  I will also look at Google's T&C, it was our preference to have the pano embedded in the application.  I've set it to 250px in height but others can set that to whatever height they prefer in js file.  I also liked the fact that it minimizes on the widget minimize and close events.  Thanks for your comments.

I have the uncompiled up and running in IE 8. As stated above it's a no go in Chrome, etc. Nice so far...

[andrewj_ca]

That's good to hear. Easy setup eh! This issue with Firefox, chrome etc. is the dynamic creation of the pano div.  I have a js function that calls, "body.appendChild(div)", not supported in these browsers.  Anybody have an idea?
