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

[Erik Uzureau]

Actually, reading it over again, it looks like you were looking at
pierre's original version of this
effort. The latest version is in my sandbox, here:

http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/euzuro/pop/examples/framedPopups.html

...and I have replaced that iteration, so it should work correctly.

Please do let me know if you find some problems.
Erik
