[OpenLayers-Users] mouse event return clicked layer

[gustavo palminha]

Hy there.
First of all let me say nice webgis, realy good those menus are well made.
After testing your browser, i pressed the (i) button with the tool tip
troggle query and i click on the map, then i got asp for download, after
download it got xml code with the message " WMS server error. Invalid
layer(s) given in the LAYERS parameter".
It looks like your tool has some work left to do, but all in all everything
was great.
Congratulations.
Regards.
