[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with calling default mouse down handler (2.4)

[Pierre GIRAUD]

I'm sorry, I think I answered too quickly.
Having a look at your code, and in the OpenLayers one, I found that
the defaultMouseDown method still exists for some controls. In your
current implementation (http://www.free-map.org.uk/freemap/), with
firebug you can test "map.controls[0].defaultMouseDown()" and that
works.
But, you have to notice that not all controls implement the
defaultMouseDown method (for example permalink). Probably in your case
the map first control doesn't.

Can you explain more precisely what behavior you want to handle with this ?

Regards
