Hi Robert,<br><br>thanks for the info, now in this syntax <br><br>var topowms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "Topos",<br> "<a href="http://10.64.20.120/cgi-bin/gsswms.exe" target="_blank">http://10.64.20.120/cgi-bin/gsswms.exe</a>?",<br>
{layers: ['nzislands','nznoaa','nz1mtm','nz250ktm','nz50ktm','linz_orthos'], format: "image/png"},<br><div> {singleTile: true, minResolution: 1000} );<br>
<br></div>how do you tell openlayers
the location of the shapefiles? is this variable going to create just a
single layer for all the 7 shapefiles? i need a single layer for each
shapefile so basically there will be 7 non-base layers.
