[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Projection and proj4js.js

Sat Jun 28 17:20:13 EDT 2008

Hi,

I'm trying to cast a point in one projection into another, and I think I
have some issues with OpenLayers.Projection.  Below is html/javascript code
I'm using and the rendered browser ouput.  In this example, I'm trying to
cast the point (184056.505, 4809728.250) in epsg:26915 to epgs:4326.  My
expectation is that point p, which is this point in epsg:26915, should
display as something on the order of (-100,43), or something close to that
range.  However, as the output shows, the point is not changed.  Can someone
explain why?

Thanks,
matt

P.S. - Is there an error in the documentation for the constructor of
OpenLayers.Projection (at:
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.6/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Projection-js.html#OpenLayers.Projection.OpenLayers.Projection)?
It says that the constructor takes an object to set parameters, but every
example I see of the constructor is passing a string in the way I am setting
it here.  Am I not understanding the documentation conventions correctly, or
is this not correctly or completely documented?

=== browser rendered output ===

Point p [before OpenLayers.Projection.transform] is: POINT(184056.505
