Phil,
Thank you very much for your reply. Is there another format for vector layers that you would recommend? I do have the option to possibly create the data in another format. Thanks, Jerome From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Scadden Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2012 6:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OpenLayers-Users] Highlighting Feature on KML Layer I am new to web mapping and to OpenLayers. I have created a basic map that has a base layer and a KML vector layer. The features in the KML vector layer have several attributes. When opening my map, is it possible to highlight and zoom to a specific feature in the KML vector layer based on one of the attributes? You will note that google isnt good about providing that functionality themselves in their products. KML is a very flexible format. You can define attributes for a featureset in the set header and then provide just the data for the feature ( as you would for a "normal" layer), but you can also have attribute and data for each feature (ie each feature could have different attributes). Furthermore the KML could just be a network link. In short, I dont think it is implemented in OL but maybe others would prove me wrong. If you are stuck using KML vector files, then I think you will need custom code to pick your way through a loaded KML layer feature entries. If you have option of not using KML than I would strongly consider it. If your data is in say geoserver then you can create a WFS kml link to view in GE from your web application but using KML directly is slow and limited.
