Thank you for this code snippet! it is a bit out of my JavaScript
knowledge...

I tried to add this code to my html file here
http://www.oesterlin.ile.nc/test/20110817drv-carte.html
(only for zoom 1-10 the tiles are currently about to be uploaded to my
server for the moment, but don't mind)

The rubbish bin layer "Poubelles" is displayed fine, but the vector
klm is not displayed.

Where is the error?

...it is this simplicity I was looking for by choosing the text
layer.... but if it does not allow do modify the pop up size, it
will not be suitable to display the photos.
