@Guilhem : Thank you for your reply. I have passed several hours on it and I noticed some bug reporting (resolved now) on the OpenLayers project about the createPopup function (popup grows bigger each time we display it).

It seems we have the same problem with the createMarker function with a feature.
I didn’t succeed in resolving this bug but I noticed that it doesn’t exist if we don’t specify a size for the popup.
So I just changed the OpenLayers.Popup.WIDTH and the OpenLayers.Popup.HEIGHT properties in the OpenLayers.js (I know it’s a shame but I don’t have much time to find a solution now and I only want to open popup in a fixed size).

@Sylvain : Actually I had never tested on IE7 so I hadn’t noticed. The popup content is just a very basic div, so it may be possible there is a bug in the OpenLayers library. If you have a local version of this tutorial, you could try to update OpenLayers and check if the problem has disappeared.

Hello,

I notice a bug when you click several times on a marker…
The popup height size keeps growing (on IE 7 but not on FF)…

Have you ever works on a solution for this kind of bug?

Thanks.

Great work and much needed. JSON / JavaScript and BONUS, Google App Engine tutorial and working code. Fantastic!

This approach is THE way to go.

Tom Tague from Calais here.

Guilhem – what an exceptionally great article! You take a new Calais capability, you create a great demonstration application – and you share the code and the steps you took to make it happen. This is really useful stuff and will help jump start anyone that wants to start experimenting.

We’ll continue to evolve the geolocation capability of Calais for the foreseeable future. In particular we’ll be investing in more sophisticated disambiguation of place names.

Soon each geography identified will also resolve to a de-referenceable URI. That URI will contain a little bit of information about the geography – but more importantly will point at other linked data assets (like Freebase, DBpedia, etc) that know a whole lot about the geography. Should allow some interesting applications.

Thanks again for taking the time to not only do this – but to present it so that others can learn from your work.

Regards,
