[OpenLayers-Users] LayerSwitcher

[R. Ortner]

Hi, 

the color of the layerswitcher is not the problem, the problem is for me to
put it on the left side of my application. (In your posted second link the
layerswitcher is still at default position outside the map).

i tried to change it in the layerswitcher.js and that works basically, but
that is no solution. I need to change it within the html or css.

any ideas?
