[OpenLayers-Dev] Cannot set ID of a control

[Erik Uzureau]

Hi Stephen. I have made a ticket and patch for this issue.
It is here:

http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1687

If approved, it will be in the OpenLayers 2.7 release.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
Erik

> OpenLayers.Util.extend(this, options);
