[OpenLayers-Users] Zindex of vectors

[Brad Spencer]

Christopher,

I managed to sort this out myself. I admit it probably was a sledgehammer to
crack a nut!

After I loaded the points as circles on a vector layer with its styleMap &
Popups, I then applied the following 2 lines to make sure that the vector
layer was always above my other layers and that the popup layer was above
the vector layer.

map.Z_INDEX_BASE['Popup'] = 20000;
userMarkers.setZIndex(map.Z_INDEX_BASE['Popup'] -1);

I'm sure its not the most elegant way to do this but it works just fine for
my app.

Cheers, Brad...

The z-index of popups is always above the markers. If this is not
happening, there must be something different/special about your setup
that is different from other OpenLayers maps. Is there a demonstration
of this problem online?
