I have a WMS layer served with mapserver and want to display with it a legend image (PNG) "floating" over the WMS. It means, when I move the WMS in OpenLayers, the legend is always in the same place, ie, top-left corner of my screen. I generated this legend, a sample is attached. I remember an example about this in the Geoext examples web site but it's not longer there (if it existed). Any idea about doing this is appreciated, thanks.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Create a popup - position on map where you want it. Put the legend image into a popup (img tag in the html). If you have geoext loaded as well, the strongly consider Alexandre Dube LayerTreebuilder ux as an alternative (used on my PBE website) to build the legend.<o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
