[OpenLayers-Users] Layers in drop down

[Adam Eskreis]

You don't HAVE to use the OpenLayers  layer switcher control.  You can make
your own from scratch using HTML/CSS and then use regular javascript events
to change the visible layers of the map.  Just a quick example:

<script type="text/javascript">
var activeLayer = null;
function changeLayer()
{
   var layer = map.getLayersByName(this.value)[0];
   if(activeLayer != null) {
     activeLayer.setVisibility(false);
   }
   layer.setVisibility(true);
   activeLayer = layer;
}
</script>

<select onchange="changeLayer()">
<option value="layer1">Layer 1</option>
<option value="layer2">Layer 2</option>
<option value="layer3">Layer 3</option>
</select>
