[OpenLayers-Dev] New, sexy, popups -- I need your help! -- GIMP/Inkscape users?

[Rupert de Guzman]

Hi Erik,

[1] Demo is really nice.

[2] I downloaded
(http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/camptocamp/FramedPopups/lib/OpenLayers/Popup/FramedBubble.js
) and tested but it did not work for my OpenLayers + ExtJS app. The
array problem bit me. Just a note to others who may encounter the same
issue.

for (var i in blocks) {

should be

for (var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i ++){

Regards,

Rupert
