<div>Hi, i'm also new to openlayers but i found out how to print maps by looking at the examples in the openlayers examples, check the BASIC SINGLE WMS EXAMPLE code, for what i understand there are a few steps u must follow: </div>
<div>1) include in ur site the OpenLayers,js file</div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff"><</font><span><font color="#800000">script</font></span><font color="#0000ff"> </font><span><font color="#ff0000">src</font></span><font color="#0000ff">=<span>"../lib/OpenLayers.js"</span>></font></span><span><font color="#0000ff"></</font><span><font color="#800000">script</font></span><font color="#0000ff">></font></span><br>
</div>
<div>2)in javascript define map and layer variables</div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff">var</font></span> map, layer;<br></div>
<div>3)define init function which can change depending on what u want to do</div>
<div> <span><font color="#0000ff">function</font></span> init(){<br> ..........</div>
<div> }</div>
<div> 4)make the body event "onload" calls init function</div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff"><</font><span><font color="#800000">body</font></span><font color="#0000ff"> </font><span><font color="#ff0000">onload</font></span><font color="#0000ff">=<span>"init()"</span>></font></span><br>
5)create a div with "map" id</div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff"><</font><span><font color="#800000">div</font></span><font color="#0000ff"> </font><span><font color="#ff0000">id</font></span><font color="#0000ff">=<span>"map"</span> </font><span><font color="#ff0000">class</font></span><font color="#0000ff">=<span>"smallmap"</span>></font></span><span><font color="#0000ff"></</font><span><font color="#800000">div</font></span><font color="#0000ff">></font></span><br>
</div><br><br>
