[OpenLayers-Users] Controls not working

[G. Paolo Sanino V.]

Hi, thanks so much!!!

After Eric, Frederic and Christopher 's support, the map is looking a lot 
better!!!  Thank you all for this great work.

With http://openlayers.org/api/2.6-rc1/OpenLayers.js
the ScaleLine and OverviewMap controls, are still not working; neither with 
http://dev.openlayers.org/nightly/OpenLayers.js

I am using Firefox (with FireFTP) and Konqueror as browsers, and Kompozer for 
html editing, all under OpenSuSE 10.3's Linux distro. Under XP I see the same 
symptoms.

Maybe I should wait until 2.6... However MousePosition and 
addLayers/LayerSwitcher are doing great. Also, the markers are not where they 
should be (in land when they should be on the water) but after zooming in 
they are just right.

It is a lot better. You can see the changes on:
