[OpenLayers-Users] Overlayed div on the map

[goliah]

Hi Alexander,

your hint helped me a lot. I didn't know the inner structure of the map div.
What I did was simply inserting the div into the map.viewPortDiv. 

The important thing is setting the right css attributes for the overlayed
div:
position:asolute;

and set z-index to map.Z_INDEX_BASE['Popup']-1

I've used jquery, but I think it could be accomplished with plain js or
OpenLayers Utils.
here is the result (works fine):

(in this case i am working on, the map is themed dinamically using a feature
attribute and the legend is created automatically)

Thanks!
Mauro
