[Geomoose-users] projection problems, popup question

[Dan Little]

I'll answer the easy question first: Yes, it is possible to have a picture in a popup.  As the Popups render HTML you should be able to simply write something like <img src="[url to my image].."/> and it should appear in the popup as desired.

The harder question of reprojection:
This sounds like a Mapfile problem.  You need to have the Mapfile properly configured to do the reprojection.  The OpenLayers folks have written a nice write up on how to do this with MapServer.

>When I'm trying to load it to geomoose, the layer is loaded but I cannot see it. I think that this happens because of the projection system. I used the tip you told me with mozilla firefox (tools, page information, multimedia) and realized that the coordinates that the api loads, are different from the coordinates I set to the map file. The coordinates are also different  from the coordinates that are set in the initial extend of the mapbook file.
