Hi, the OpenLayers.Layer.WMS constructor takes, 4 arguments:
OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(name, url, params, options) The params are for everything that gets appended to the GetMap reqeusts for the images. The options are for everything that configures the OpenLayers.Layer.WMS object. The attribution property goes into the options (4th argument). If configured like this, there is no need to add the Attribution control, because it is one of the default controls (unless your build profile does not contain it, or you configure your map with a custom controls array). I just updated the Layer.WMS docs to make this a bit more clear. See http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WMS-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.OpenLayers.Layer.WMS Hope this helps. Andreas.
