We now curse ourselves for the many days spent battling browser weridness :)

All works for me :) Many hurrahs!! Amazing stuff Nick. I've now
deployed to the main site and ran into issue which is that in
production mode (with javascript caching) did not seem to work in
chrome (worked in firefox though but that may be browser caching ...).
I've switched to dev mode for the time being and it works fine.

Beyond this only real remaining significant bug before going for a big
announce is issues around the editing of location in map:

Because of way map is set up (it stores factlet info) saving map item
seems to overwrite any changes made to other factlet attributes. This
is probably a simple fix in the short-term and in the medium-term i
guess we should bind map widget to the actual feature rather than
whole factlet ...

Anyway congratulations again on getting this working.
