[OpenLayers-Users] drag markers

[Brad Spencer]

List,

Before I go ahead and discard all my markers code for the vector equivalent,
I would like to see if someone can help me on this small problem. 

I am successfully moving markers about with the class code provided via this
list and included in my example. However, I also have mouseover popups
attached to these markers and when I move the marker the popup does not move
with the marker. I am confused as to how to move the popup in the dragMarker
class. 

What I would like to be able to do is drag the marker to a new location with
an option to have the popup visible or hidden.

I have a example app here: http://demos.numaps.com.au/dragMarker.html

Cheers, Brad....

I don't speak for 'you guys', but I speak for myself as the author of
the dragmarker code. 

Anything that keeps people on markers is a bad thing. Vectors are the
way to go, and I do everything I can to get people off of markers and
onto vectors. This is just one example where the vector code already
does something, and implementing and supporting another set of code that
does essentially the same thing is not realistic.
