[OpenLayers-Users] ArcGIS REST services

When I view that page in IE8, it doesn't work at all:

It works in Firefox.

Looks like our biggest problems are going to be projections and resolutions - our other layers are not in Spherical Mercator, and we are not currently drawing our maps scales that match the ArcGIS resolutions.

Thanks for the pointer.

Hi Jeff,

does this work for you?

It's the second layer in the layer switcher.

Best regards,
Bart
