[OpenLayers-Users] How many layers can I use with "OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo"

[Karina Guardado]

Thank you so much!!!!, this is the solution for my problem, I just add the
following line as you sujested:
 map.Z_INDEX_BASE.Popup = 5000;

And now I have no problems with the popup , now I can close them for
wathever layer that I load and even when I have many layers and it does not
matter if the layer is the last one or the first one.

So I'm sure this solution as the other ones that many people has mentioned
will be very usefull for others.

best regards and thank you very much!!!
saludos y muchas gracias!!!
