Hi Daniel,
You are correct! Hotspots works again after I disabled jceutilities plugin.
However, there are still two strange stuff appear on the front end after I installed the new version. Right under the map it shows the a set of map location number, and below the search button there is another button showing either "Click me" or the hostid.
I looked at the page source and they are produced by the code:
<div id="message"></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var Position = new GLatLngBounds();
var centertype = 1;
/* ]]> */
</script>
and
<input type="button" id="mybutton" name="mybutton" value="Click Me" onclick="hsload(1)" />
Is it something new from the hotspots version 1.0 stable?
Thanks for you help!
