[OpenLayers-Users] legend "floating" over map

[Gery .]

Thanks for the answer Phil and Donald. I was thinking about your suggestions, but the point of this, actually I forgot to explain it, is that this legend should appear once I choose the WMS in the layerswitcher, so I have for example a WMS of bathymetry, so I choose that one and its legend appears, then I choose the a WMS of metamorphic basement and its legend appears, and so forth... I think Alexandre's work was what I saw once, googling it I found this link [1] but it's broken, is there a new one available out there?

Can you not just use an absolute/relative positioned div and put the image in that? From: openlayers-users-bounces at lists.osgeo.org [mailto:openlayers-users-bounces at lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Phil Scadden

I've been scratching my head over this, no clear idea so far. I have a WMS layer served with mapserver and want to display with it a legend image (PNG) "floating" over the WMS. It means, when I move the WMS in OpenLayers, the legend is always in the same place, ie, top-left corner of my screen. I generated this legend, a sample is attached. I remember an example about this in the Geoext examples web site but it's not longer there (if it existed). Any idea about doing this is appreciated, thanks.Create a popup - position on map where you want it. Put the legend image into a popup (img tag in the html). If you have geoext loaded as well, the strongly consider Alexandre Dube LayerTreebuilder ux as an alternative (used on my PBE website) to build the legend.Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
