Just a small note to notify people of some really cool new features that just got in to OpenLayers.
The related ticket is: http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1357 The patch was conceived and developed by Tim Coulter (funkyc) and allows you to do z-indexing of elements in the vector layers... sweet! Furthermore, it includes code to handle "y-ordering" which brings elements which are futher "down" (lower y value) on the map "in front" (higher zindex) of those above. This is great for a cool pseudo-3d view. Cooler yet, all elements can now also have a background graphic, conveniently designed to allow for drop shadows, making things even *more* 3d. Kudos to Tim for a really great patch... check it out! The examples to see it immediately are here: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/marker-shadow.html http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/ordering.html This is one of the exciting new features that will be part of the 2.7 release, so we are really keen to have people check it out and maybe play around with it on their own sites, give us some feedback... enjoy!
