[OpenLayers-Users] Google/Yahoo map projection WMS overlay question

[Josh Livni]

Andrew,

Check the spherical-mercator.html example.
However, note that you can't overlay data in EPSG:4326 onto a layer with 
spherical mercator projection.  Your WMS server needs to spit it out in 
the same projection for them to line up.  So in this case, you need to 
make sure your WMS server is configured to spit out data in EPSG:900913.
