[OpenLayers-Users] Adding a Mapserv Layer

Sat Nov 17 07:49:06 EST 2007

Hi Matthew,

Your div is named 'map', and you are using

var map = new OpenLayers.Map("basemap", options);

This search for a basemap div, but it doesn't exist.
Change the div id, or change that line of code.

Hope this helps.
