[OpenLayers-Users] FramedCloud with Layer.Text?

[jericks]

I ran into the exact same problem and came up with a small patch to
OpeLayers.Layer.Text that adds popupClass as a property.  When the
OpenLayers.Feature object is created it's popupClass property is set.  Very
useful for people dependent on Text layers.  I will attach the patch here,
but I should probably open a ticket right?

Thanks,
Jared
