Since we're on the topic, does anyone know how to customize the location of the attribution text? I found this:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/attribution.html And details on the control: http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Control/Attribution-js.html But I haven't found anything on placing the text in a specific region of the map. For example, in the lower left or right-hand corner. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 4:07 PM, joe walko <[email protected]> wrote: > Gotcha, it works now.
