[OpenLayers-Users] adding buttons to OL UI

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi

If i had to do that i'd create two button controls (i.e. two instances
of Control.Button), one per baselayer, and add them to a panel (an
instance of Control.Panel).

To create a button you'd use something like that:

var button = new OpenLayers.Control.Button({trigger: function() {
map.setBaseLayer(yourBaseLayer1); }});

To create a custom panel look at the panel.html example.

Hope this helps.
