Re: [OpenLayers-Users] Layer Switcher Question
And you should listen to the changebaselayer event...
Something like
this.map.events.register("changebaselayer", this, updateActiveLayerName);
and
function updateActiveLayerName(evt) {
document.getElementById("mylbl").innerText = map.baseLayer.name;
}
This code is untested (written directly on the mail), but gives you a hint.

For example to get the name of the base layer you do map.baseLayer.name.

[OpenLayers-Users] Layer Switcher Question
Hello all, I apologize if this should be a developer post but I am curious as to how one might capture the base layer name that is active base layer within the layer switcher and place it on the map page once the user collapses the layer switcher. We want to have a visual place holder for the active base layer name so users are aware and always reminded of what they are viewing. Has anyone down this before?
