Andreas, <br><br>Sigh, it's still not working out for me. Now no base layer is coming up, my zoom slider is not in the right position, and my map div is once again in its own container :(<br><br>This is the code with the changes I have understood I should make:<br>
<br> var options = {<br> controls: [new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation()],<br> maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508.34, -20037508.34, 20037508.34, 20037508.34),<br> maxResolution: "auto",<br>
projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),<br> units: 'm',<br> allOverlays: false<br> }<br><br><br> //var map = new OpenLayers.Map(options);<br>
//map.addLayers([gphy, gmap, ghyb, osm, all_chn, all_tib, chn_bridges, tib_bridges, chn_countys, tib_countys, chn_farms, tib_farms, chn_glaciers, tib_glaciers, chn_grazing, tib_grazing, chn_hwyCrew, tib_hwyCrew, chn_hospitals, tib_hospitals, chn_lakes, tib_lakes, chn_monastaries, tib_monastaries, chn_pass, tib_pass, chn_rivers, tib_rivers, chn_townships, tib_townships, chn_villages, tib_villages]); <br>
<br> var mapPanel = new GeoExt.MapPanel({<br> title: "Map",<br> map: options,<br> //center: map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(93.9, 29.53).transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"), map.getProjectionObject())),<br>
center: new OpenLayers.LonLat(93.9, 29.53).transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")),//, map.getProjectionObject()),<br> renderTo: document.body,<br> width: 1500,<br>

</div>You can do this, but then you also have to destroy the map manually.<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>This is wrong. Just provide the center here. Don't call map.setCenter.<br>

<br>
</div>var mapPanel = new GeoExt.MapPanel({});<br>
var map = mapPanel.map;<br>
// now map is an instance of OpenLayers.Map;<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> I also added renderTo: document.body, but since I have the Ext.Panel, it placed the mapPanel in a separate div, even after specifying width and height. My only other guess is maybe I need to get rid of the Ext.Panel, but then do I add the items: [layerTree] to the mapPanel instead? I really like having the Ext.Panel instead and adding things to it...<br>
<br>
</div>See above. The only reason why it could fail now is a "div" property in your map options.<br>

It stays blank until I click the map, etc. Then it displays properly. I've Googled all sorts of things concerning this sort of issue and have come up with nothing that gives me a hint as to why this could be. This never happened to me before until I started using GeoExt to display my map. Is it something in code I must write for GeoExt or OpenLayers so that this doesnt happen? It's driving me crazy!!!<br>
