OK. Seeing this had me a bit worried about performance, but as long as the browser knows what it's doing, I'm OK with it. Though in a fractionally zoomed map, with untiled layers, each pan and zoom would create a unique image request, and the user would be lucky to have the exact same image request later, so all those cached images would be wasted. I guess this is a good reason to use defined zoom levels, and tiled layers when possible... ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ Earth: "Mostly harmless" - revised entry in the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
