[OpenLayers-Dev] [OpenLayers-Trac] [OpenLayers] #926: Google Style Popups

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Please don't forget that Tim Coulter and Roald Ewit also worked on that too.
It would be helpfull for you to also check their work.
I think that Roald code is available in this ticket (or another one)
and tim's code can be found into the topp/nymap sandbox. It's worth
looking at this and maybe have a discussion with them. I would be also
happy to help you and talk about this on IRC when I'm available.

Regards,
Pierre
