[OpenLayers-Users] Layer Switcher Question

[Christian López Espínola]

And you should listen to the changebaselayer event...

Something like

this.map.events.register("changebaselayer", this, updateActiveLayerName);

and

function updateActiveLayerName(evt) {
    document.getElementById("mylbl").innerText = map.baseLayer.name;
}


This code is untested (written directly on the mail), but gives you a hint.
