[OpenLayers-Dev] Mouse Control positioning

[bradleyspencer]

Christopher,

Thanks for your advice.

The changes you recommend are beyond my ability to mess with and I do not
want to operate off a changed version of OL as I prefer to use the published
version only.

Is there anyway that this could be implemented in an identical way to the
ZoomBar control which works just fine from an application developer way?

I will register a ticket on this?

Cheers,

Assuming you mean the MouseToolbar: You can't. You'll need to change the
code to support putting itself in a seperate div. (Alternatively, after
adding the control to the map, take controlvar.div and detach it,
reattaching it elsewhere in the DOM. If you do that I recommend passing
a position argument to the initializer with an OpenLayers.Pixel(0,0) so
that the control paints itslef in the upper left corner of the div.

Good luck.
