Hi David,<br>
<br>
You are right and now the panel is *maximized* when the page is loaded.<br>
I must have missed this one when I browsed the functions!<br>
<br>
Many thanks! :)<br>

Try something like:<br>
<br>
var layer_switcher = new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher();<br>
map.addControl(layer_switcher);
<br>
layer_switcher.maximizeControl();<br>

all,<br>
<br>
Thanks Gregor for your answer. I know how to add a selection panel to a
<br>
map. The question i s really about showing the panel by default.<br>
I want the panel to be shown by default without having to click on the<br>
"+" in the corner to display it.<br>
<br>
It's a matter of showing the options of the map for the average user
<br>
that is new to geomatic and won't click on anything to try to see what<br>
it does.<br>
So I want to show the options available by default.<br>
<br>
regards :)<br>
