[OpenLayers-Users] allow drag through div

Mon Apr 11 02:09:04 EDT 2011

Hi,

set the documentDrag option of the Navigation control to true: http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Control/Navigation-js.html#OpenLayers.Control.Navigation.documentDrag

Look at the example http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/document-drag.html to see how this is done.

Andreas.

var map = new OpenLayers.Map("my-map", {});
