Thanks for the feedback Steve and sorry for the confusion. I’ve received a couple of messages with the same sentiment you have regarding the line numbers, and I agree that it’s not exactly clear. I’m working on getting the next part of the tutorial out, and at that time I will update part 1 and 2 and make the line numbers a bit clearer. Thanks also for pointing out the code there that doesn’t belong, I’m not exactly sure why it was there, but it should be gone now.

Thanks for publishing this quick guide.

Some feedback is that it’s confusing to have every example start at line 1. It would be simpler to consistently use the line numbers from the first example. eg, line 17 should always be referred to as line 17.

Also, there’s some dodgy code under the Init function description – the HTML tags are shown as text:

our code – new OpenLayers.map(‘map’);
general code – new OpenLayers.map(‘ELEMENT NAME’) ;
