[OpenLayers-Users] Question about popup location and creating graphical popups

[Keith]

Hello,

 

I've got 2 questions:

 

1)       I'm using an anchored popup (OpenLayers.Popup.Anchored) to display
data about features on a map.  Everything is working fine except the
location of the popup seems to be varied.  The windows are definitely tied
to the marker on the map, but it seems random what direction they popup in.
This usually changes depending on which layer.  Ideally, I'd like the popups
to appear to the southeast (with the northwest corner at the marker).  Does
this have something to do with the OFFSET attribute of the anchor used in
the constructor method?

 

2)       I'm going to be trying to spruce the popup window with graphics
(such as those seen in the SlippyMap example).  I'm having some trouble
getting this to work out right.  I can see the constructor contains a place
to set contentHTML.  Is it really necessary to write out the "bubble" div
right there?

 

 

If anybody out there has a javascript example of how to construct the
SlippyMap (or a similar graphical popup), I would be MOST grateful.

 

 

Thanks,
