Andreas, Still not quite there mate!
I noticed that Ext 3.2.1 did not support setIconCls so had to load Ext 3.3.1. I have been able to get the setIconCls to work. But I am a little confused as to what goes where. This is my listener that is on the tree - it passes the tree node object thru to the listener. "checkchange": function(node){setTheForecastLayers(node) Within this listener I can change the icon class simply by doing node.setIconClass('loading'). That proved that if I have the node object I can change its image class. Obviously that is not what I want - that was just a test. When I load the layer I register the loading events with the following where layer is the layer object created in OL. // ----- layer loading events ----- // function registerEvents(layer) { if(layer.name != '' && layer.name != null && !layer.isBaseLayer) { layer.events.register("loadstart", layer, function() { if (layersLoading == 0) { eventsLog.style.display='block'; } layersLoading++; }); layer.events.register("loadend", layer, function() { layersLoading--; if (layersLoading == 0) { eventsLog.style.display='none'; } }); } } The problem I have is how to change the iconCls of the node. I thought that if I made the id of the node the same as the layer.name of the layer that I could do the following inside these events instead of the changing the display of the all layers loading icon 'eventsLog'. Ext.get(layer.name).setIconCls('loading'); However, the error I get is that Ext.get(layer.name) is null yet I know that the node has the correct id as I can alert that in the checkbox listener. So I must be doing something wrong here? Any ideas?

This should get you there. Andreas. On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 12:00 PM, brad <b...@numaps.com.au> wrote: > Andreas, > > Ok I understand.
