[OpenLayers-Users] How to have overlays off by default

[HKChad]

You need to move the visibility option DOWN out of the params area.
If you look at the documentation,
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WMS-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.OpenLayers.Layer.WMS

You will see WMS takes 4 parameters, name, url, params, options

Visibility is an OPTION, not a params (params get sent as key/value pairs in
the URL query to the server).

so you need,

// CE
ce = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
"CE", "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms",
{
width: '800',
layers: 'prof_reg:states50D_ce',
styles: '',
srs: 'EPSG:4269',
height: '317',
format: format,
transparent: true
},
{ singleTile: true, 
   ratio: 1,
   visibility: false,
   displayInLayerSwitcher: false
}
);

hope that helps,
Chad
