[OpenLayers-Users] Z-Index of Markers Layer

[bradleyspencer]

Eric,

The hack suggestion did not work, or at least I am unable to make it work :(

My latest attempt to sort this almost worked.

Given that the OL defaults are Z_INDEX_BASE: { BaseLayer: 100, Overlay: 325, Popup: 750, Control: 1000 }, I made sure that all my user layers were set in the correct overlay levels within the range 325 thru 700 Zindex. Then I set the levels of the two markers to be offset from the Popup default level by -1 and -2 by using 'myMarkerLayer'.setZIndex(map.Z_INDEX_BASE['Popup'] - 1 & 2). This worked fine if I just wanted to see the marker layers and the popups together. However, once I plotted my other layers they simply stamped over the top of the markers and popup layers.

Is there a way to interrogate the ZIndex of any given layer so that I can check what is going on?

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

Correct.

On top of all this I want to display two markers layers - I have been able to make sure that the two markers layers are above these layers by assigning numbers appropriately.

Have you tried playing with popup.div.style.zIndex? This is getting hackish ;-)
