As of this writing, the NASA Global Mosaic layer (for example, the
second layer in http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/example.html) is
down. These things happen from time to time for whatever reason. The
problem we have is the behavior of OpenLayers. The typical OpenLayers
response is to display a pink tile with the
browser's "broken link" icon in the corner. Users simply do not
appreciate this response. It does not tell them what they need to know
(that a layer is dead), does not suggest a potential solution (of
turning off the dead layer), and worst of all, it covers up other
potentially useful layers. Does anyone have a more gracious strategy
for dealing with this situation?
