Hi Przemek, this is, in my opinion a big problem of Openlayers. We got the same problem too. Before we used Bing-Maps API, and there it's normal to create HTML-Markers. I am wondering that in the OL-Community is no need for HTML Markers ....excpecially Markers which could be completly controlled. The same increddible problem, in my opinion are the Popups... its horrible to see, that the popup-background is an background-image that comes from the OL-API.
But back to your Problem... we solved that ... like this: http://www.netzwolf.info/kartografie/openlayers/htmlmarker.htm This is the only Implementation i found, that deals with HTML and u can use it like Markers. Our solution with HTML-Markers is: http://www.br.de/weather (Map with html Markers) Greets Vladimir ________________________________________ Von: openlayers-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [openlayers-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org]" im Auftrag von "Przemysław Prokopow [pr...@post.pl] Gesendet: Freitag, 6.

I wounder if anybody will be able to help me with my problem. I need to show a car icon with following details: - car name (label above a car icon) - car icon - status bar (one line bar with different color showing a status, eg. red bar means alarm, green means car is moving, grey car is parked) - car parameters (text with car speed, fuel level, distance and rpm) OpenLayers libary let you to display one icon and one plain text. There is no way to program in OpenLayers text a status bar and text above and below needs to be the same color, and to make vertical space you need to use some characters, eg. dots that looks ugly on the interface. I need to modify OpenLayers source code and implement the design as I need. Probably the way to change a OpenLayers source code would be to change in the proper place JavaScript source, so it would accept HTML instead of only plain text. Then use HTML to implement a design. Could you please advice me, where in a source code should I look to modify the code? What do you think about such modification? Is it possible and do you foreseeing any problems with it? I would greatly appreciate any advice or help from you.
