[OpenLayers-Users] Is it possible to move controls off the map to other location of asp page?

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

you can construct your controls with a div option configured, which will then be used to render the control into. See http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/editingtoolbar-outside.html for an example on how to do this with the EditingToolbar control.

Regards,
Andreas.
