Hi Przemek,<br>
<br>
this is, in my opinion a big problem of Openlayers. We got the same problem too. Before we used Bing-Maps API, and there it's normal to create HTML-Markers.<br>
I am wondering that in the OL-Community is no need for HTML Markers ....excpecially Markers which could be completly controlled.<br>
The same increddible problem, in my opinion are the Popups... its horrible to see, that the popup-background is an background-image that comes from the OL-API.<br>
<br>
But back to your Problem... we solved that ... like this:<br>

<br>
This is the only Implementation i found, that deals with HTML and u can use it like Markers.<br>
<br>
Our solution with HTML-Markers is: <a href="http://www.br.de/weather" target="_blank">http://www.br.de/weather</a> (Map with html Markers)<br>

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Dev] Car icon and details formated with html instead of plain text - please help me<br>
<div><div class="h5"><br>
Hi,<br>
I use OpenLayers libary in my project to display objects on a map.<br>
<br>
I wounder if anybody will be able to help me with my problem.<br>
<br>
I need to show a car icon with following details:<br>
- car name (label above a car icon)<br>
- car icon<br>
- status bar (one line bar with different color showing a status, eg. red<br>
bar means alarm, green means car is moving, grey car is parked)<br>
- car parameters (text with car speed, fuel level, distance and rpm)<br>
<br>
OpenLayers libary let you to display one icon and one plain text.<br>
There is no way to program in OpenLayers text a status bar and text above<br>
and below needs to be the same color, and to make vertical space you need to<br>
use some characters, eg. dots that looks ugly on the interface.<br>
<br>
I need to modify OpenLayers source code and implement the design as I need.<br>
Probably the way to change a OpenLayers source code would be to change in<br>
the proper place JavaScript source, so it would accept HTML instead of only<br>
plain text. Then use HTML to implement a design.<br>
<br>
Could you please advice me, where in a source code should I look to modify<br>
the code?<br>
What do you think about such modification? Is it possible and do you<br>
foreseeing any problems with it?<br>
<br>
I would greatly appreciate any advice or help from you.<br>
<br>
<br>
Przemek<br>
