I agree this would make sense. What you see reflects the history of the project. At some point, we started using CSS to style the elements that OL creates. Before that point, all style declarations were coded in the JavaScript. Roughly speaking, things that have not been updated are found under the OpenLayers.ImgPath. Even if everything was moved to CSS, we'd likely still need a path to (at least) a single pixel transparent image to keep IE happy. If you find code that is still using inline style declarations (plenty) and would like to help update the library, please create tickets with patches. http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToContribute Thanks, Tim > Jochen -- Tim Schaub OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
