[OpenLayers-Users] changing Base layers

[bradleyspencer]

Chris,

I tried looking at the layerswitcher mouse handling code but that was even
more confusing to me :(

I have built a little tester app:
http://demo.cubewerx.com.au/NuMaps/baseLayerTest.html

Can you just have a quick look at this for me its probably going to
something very simple. I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

Brad

So, if you add two base layers to the map, then doing that should work.
I assume by 'name' you mean 'variable name', rather than anything else.

If all else fails, looking at the code to the layerswitcher mouse
handling methods might help you.
