[OpenLayers-Dev] Car icon and details formated with html instead of plain text - please help me

[Przemysław Prokopow]

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks a lot for the tips.
Your solution with a Box looks clear and straight forward. I really like it.
I just wounder if a data in the Box will be updated dynamically ie. when car 
position and parameters change the data will be updated accordingly.


Thanks & Cheers,
Przemek
