This event fires any time a layer is changed, and you can then loop through the layers and call: http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer-js.html#OpenLay ers.Layer.getVisibility Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
