[OpenLayers-Users] inconsistency in control syntax

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Right, the constructor for the Scale Control is a bit different:

    /**
     * Constructor: OpenLayers.Control.Scale
     *
     * Parameters:
     * element - {DOMElement}
     * options - {Object}
     */
    initialize: function(element, options) {
        OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(this, [options]);
        this.element = OpenLayers.Util.getElement(element);
    },

So try:

new OpenLayers.Scale(document.getElementById("scale"))

I'll file a bug so we fix this up in 3.0. Thanks for the report.

Bart
