$webwork.htmlEncode($page.space.name) : OpenLayers

This page last changed on Dec 18, 2007 by aaime.

OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies. It supports WMS layers.

OpenLayers implements a (still-developing) JavaScript API for building rich web-based geographic applications, similar to the Google Maps and MSN Virtual Earth APIs, with one important difference – OpenLayers is Free Software, developed for and by the Open Source software community.

Sample
