Thanks Eric. Two questions -- one, is the patch that I mentioned above irrelevant? (I haven't really looked into the patch but am only going by its description); and two, I would like to develop my own OpenLayer's based LayerSwitcher for grouping layers as well as for being able to select a specific layer to do WMSGetFeatureInfo. Is there any tutorial or example, or has someone else done something like this that I can learn from? For various reasons, using GeoExt is not possible for me. > Good luck.
