[OpenLayers-Dev] Doubts regrading shapefies

[Alexandre Dubé]

Hi Hari,

   This kind of question is more suitable for the 'users' mailing list.

   Using OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer isn't recommended.  You should use 
OpenLayers.Layer.WMS instead.  Here's some examples :
     http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wms.html
     http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/layerswitcher.html
     http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/controls.html

   The API documentation contains more details :
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WMS-js.html

   Your fixed base layer should keep its 'isBaseLayer' property (option) 
to true, and you should set it to false for the others.

HTH,

Alexandre
