[OpenLayers-Users] z order of pan zoom controls

[Michael Quentel]

Many thanks to Brad for his suggestion to create a separate controls
div...very impressive demo.  

However, it turns out that the issue was caused by OL not being able to
see the images directory because of the way it was attempting to
reference the images (of the zoombar, etc) from a JSP.  Correcting the
image path in Utils.js solved this.

One helpful tip to anyone working with JSPs and OL: during development,
include code to prevent the page from being cached; this will help
ensure your javascript changes will be present.  Include the code below
for development in your JSP; remove it for production release.

<%
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0);
%>

Cheers,

Mike Quentel

Michael,

I position the zoom controls 'off map' so that I get maximum map
real-estate.

I do this with a Div and I presume you can do the same and also set a
z-index in the styles for that Div (I have not done it though).

map.addControl(new
OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar({div:$('zoomControl')}));

Anyway, see my example at http://demo.cubewerx.com.au/retirement.html

Hope this helps.

Cheers,


Brad Spencer

Please, where do I change the z order of the pan zoom controls?  I
developed a custom client that consumes a proprietary map service (in a
WMS-like manner, based on the WMS Untiled code--thank you for this
example), but the map image seems to be getting drawn on top of the pan
zoom controls.  I think this is happening because I briefly see the
controls appear just before the map appears.

Thank you.
