This is the venue map page: http://tools.ietf.org/rooms ?
The reason is so that it can display where you are on the map.
Right. I had opened this page in a background tab so I didn't make the
connection.
Safari on the Mac doesn't seem to be able to find its location at all, though.
And as there's no GPS reception indoors (certainly not without any windows) I
doubt _any_ system could provide a location that is accurate enough to be
usable here.
p.s. UI design doesn't seem to be a strong point here - modal notifications
are an annoyance. Firefox 4.0 gets it almost right, but the dialog
appearance and usability suck.
A popup is ok if it's a reaction to a user action, not so much immediately upon
loading the page. As long as we're providing constructive criticism: on the
little program booklet the maps are tiny but still mostly readable, but on the
web page the text is too small to be deciphered.
