Christopher, Thanks for this it worked really well, I just loaded this new control at OL loadmap time. However, I have a small problem. When I use the mouse drag zoom control it appears to over ride this new control making it non functional after the use of that zoom control. Does that sound right and what would you suggest I do to manage this?
