[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers and JQuery

[Norman Barker]

Amos,

thanks for the tip, building the single file version of OpenLayers
rather than using lib/OpenLayers.js solved the problem and I am
working again!

After building the single file version of OpenLayers I was able to
remove the jquery noConflicts function and everything works fine.

thanks,

Norman
