<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am using OpenLayers with GeoServer. I am using OpenLayers JavaScript APIs to render the WMS layers present in GeoServer. Of the layers I have one base layer and multiple overlays. Now I need to specify the bounding box values for the base map coverage layer in the OpenLayers.WMS function (maxExtent : bounds ) For thst I need to get the values from the GeoServer. After consulting the GeoServer guys I came to know that I have to do a WMS GetCapabilities request and parse the returned XML to get the BBox for my layer. What I want to know is how to make a WMS GetCapabilities request using OpenLayers and parse the returned XML. Any example would be highly useful. Or let me know if there is any other way of solving this...</DIV>
