Question

I have an application that uses OpenLayers library.

I create a scale line:

map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.ScaleLine());

But it shows both meters and fs. I need to show only meters.
I add next code to openlayers.css

.olControlScaleLineBottom {
    visibility: hidden; 
}

But it still shows ft. How can I fix it?

You can disable top or bottom part of scaleline by setting topOutUnits or bottomOutUnits to empty string:

map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.ScaleLine({bottomOutUnits: ''}));

That behavior is not mentioned in documentation, but you can find it easily, when you look at control’s source code.
