Well unfortunately you are right. I uploaded everything to my life server
and nominatim and taginfo services still refuse to work. No error messages.

Maybe its because the local site is http and the OSM links are https? I
experienced some such problems since OSM changed to https.

Well, I understand the theoretical benefits of vector graphics. But as it
happens my icons are only available as bitmaps :-) And the whole idea of the
work is to make the items in the editor immediately recognizable so you
don't have to learn a different look of everything in the editor.

Well, I noted that ID actually uses quite a number of .PNG icons for the
cursors and the patterns. So the library definitely supports it. I just
couldn't figure out how to modify the code to use .PNG icons instead of SVG
graphics as I am completely unfamiliar with the technology. Can you maybe
point me to a suitable tutorial?

thanks, Nop
