[OpenLayers-Users] Error: this.addOptions is not a function

Fri Aug 26 08:30:47 EDT 2011

Dear list,
I am currently trying to get OpenLayers to show a WMS-Layer. Doing this
I encounter a problem I am not able to solve. I would like to make shure
that the mistake is not mine before filling a bug report.
This is a minimal example producing the error:

<html>
<head>
    <script src="../javascript/openlayers/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div style="width:100%; height:100%" id="map"></div>
    <script defer="defer" type="text/javascript">
        var map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map' );

        var layer = OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "mymap",

"http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/mapserv",
                                          {layers: 'buildings', map:
'map=/var/public/maps/mapfile.map'}
                    );
        map.addLayer(layer);
        map.zoomToMaxExtent();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

This gives the error message
    this.addOptions is not a function
using Firefox 5.0 with Ubuntu Natty.

I also could provide the corresponding mapfile, but the error looks like
JavaScript-Problems to me thus I will spare you the details as long as
nobody requests it.

Thank you for your support and ideas.

Thilo Schneider
