AjaxList

@@ -105 +105 @@
   * ''number'' - Specifies a numerical value. In the present implementation, it acts like a string, but Ajax List could be extended in the future to search for greater or lesser numbers instead of just equivalents . So it's a good idea to specify numerical columns are "number" and not as "string".
   * ''map'' - this is a dictionary look-up type. It takes the column entry to be a key, and look it up in an associative array. This array is passes as a Column Type Parameter, following the column type. For example, the following is used in the users controller to translate entries like "A", "S", and "I" to "Admin", "Student", and "Instructor", respectively. 
-   *{{{ array("User.role",       "Role",         "6em",    "map",
-        array(  "A" => "Admin",  "I" => "Instructor", "S" => "Student")),}}}
+   * {{{ array("User.role",       "Role",         "6em",    "map", array(  "A" => "Admin",  "I" => "Instructor", "S" => "Student")), }}}
+   * The general format for this column is: {{{}}}
+   * An extra feature of the ''map'' is that the JS AjaxList client also creates a drop-down filter for it. In this way, the end-user can choose to selectively view the mapped types, or all the types at once. In the iPeer's users controller this is used to switch the view between Admin's, Instructors, and Students.
+   * If the column contents is not a valid key in the supplied dictionary, the entry is listed, and unknown keyword appears beside.
