Hi Charles, I don't know if I've understood right but I'll try.

I'm sure your WMS has a different set of names available for you. to discover the list of names you can use a WMS client (udig, qgis, ecc) or just use your browser to access GetCapabilities of your server. to do this use this URL: http://server/arcgis/WMS?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities you should receive a XML file with a bunch of information and the list of server layers. User the value you find inside <Name> tag. hope this helps Ciao Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
