Hi&nbsp;all,

I'm&nbsp;experimenting&nbsp;with&nbsp;ThinkGeo&nbsp;and&nbsp;OpenLayers&nbsp;in&nbsp;differnt&nbsp;browsers&nbsp;by&nbsp;creating&nbsp;a&nbsp;simple&nbsp;webpage&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;WMS&nbsp;and&nbsp;some&nbsp;basic&nbsp;vector&nbsp;layers.

I&nbsp;have&nbsp;no&nbsp;problem&nbsp;creating&nbsp;the&nbsp;vector&nbsp;layers&nbsp;and&nbsp;adding&nbsp;features&nbsp;to&nbsp;it,&nbsp;but&nbsp;how&nbsp;do&nbsp;I&nbsp;use&nbsp;the&nbsp;ThinkGeo&nbsp;WMS&nbsp;in&nbsp;my&nbsp;sample&nbsp;webpage??&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;following,&nbsp;but&nbsp;I&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;ThinkGeo's&nbsp;map&nbsp;data.

var&nbsp;ol\_wms&nbsp;=&nbsp;new&nbsp;OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("OpenLayers&nbsp;WMS",&nbsp;"vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0",&nbsp;{  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;layers:&nbsp;"basic"  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;});

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thanks,

Alvin
