[OpenLayers-Users] Scale text outside the map

[Marc Jansen]

Hi Hanno,

you need to pass in two parameters to the constructor of 
OpenLayers.Control.Scale:

1. the div
2. the options-object

In your case this should work:

var scale = new OpenLayers.Control.Scale(
document.getElementById("kartenElemente"),

{
// other options
}
);

map.addControl(scale);

Regards,

Marc
