[OpenLayers-Users] Call Mapfile layer with Openlayers when status ON or OFF

[Till Adams]

Paul,

if your mapserver service supports WMS you are not too far away. On my 
first view, I saw, that you add your layernames to the OL-map object and 
not the layer objetcts layer1 and layer2:
So change either to:

      map.addLayers([layer1,layer2]);

or

      map.addLayer(layer1);
      map.addLayer(layer2);

Regards, Till
