[OpenLayers-Users] map not accept html element

[Samuel M. Smith]

I just wanted to let you know that it did not work as documented and that it should either be fixed or the documentation changed.
Since you have to know the ID to use getElementById its always possible to just use the ID.This however precludes getting an element reference by ID once and then reusing for multiple calls.

I've never personally used this method for OpenLayers and the work around seems easy enough in that you can simply pass the id of the element in question.
