Hi, I resolved a similar situation using the following code
map.events.register("changebaselayer",population per sq mile(2005),
function() {
if (this.getVisibility()) {
document.getElementById('legend').src="http://optiplexa.mtri.org:8086/geoserver/wms?REQUEST=GetLegendGraphic&VERSION=1.0.0&FORMAT=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=mtri:v_quality_crosstab&STYLE=polygon_eqi_colormap";;
} else
{
document.getElementById('legend').src="";
}
});
and later in html code...
align="bottom"
this means at first when layer isn't selected source of image is empty
(src=) and when the users chooses this layer from Layerswitcher,
"changebaselayer" event is triggered, which which gives the source it's
value.
In the case that your layer is overlay and not baselayer you can use the
event "visibilitychanged" on your layer i.e
population per sq mile(2005).events.register("visibilitychanged",macros,
function() {
if (this.getVisibility()) {
document.getElementById('legend').src="http://optiplexa.mtri.org:8086/geoserver/wms?REQUEST=GetLegendGraphic&VERSION=1.0.0&FORMAT=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=mtri:v_quality_crosstab&STYLE=polygon_eqi_colormap";;
} else
{
document.getElementById('legend').src="";
}
});
Hope I helped !
