[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers / Mapserver WFS Filter: missing

[Francesco de Virgilio]

I'm trying to filter features in OpenLayers when moving a JQueryUI
slider. It works as follows.

Full files available [here on GitHub](https://github.com/fradeve/ark-oia).

## JQueryUI slider ##
#####################

When moving the slider cursor, `minSelection` and `maxSelection` values are 
defined.
I need to show only features with `minSelection < height < maxSelection`.
I've defined a filter that takes the current `min` and `maxSelection` and makes 
a query
on the WFS, applying it to the vector layer (`curlayer` is the current vector 
layer object):

    heightFilter = new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
        type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.BETWEEN,
        property: 'height',
        lowerBoundary: minSelection,
        upperBoundary: maxSelection
    });

    curlayer.filter = heightFilter;
    curlayer.refresh({force: true})

## OpenLayers.js ##
###################

    var _projObj = {
        wgs84 : new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:4326'),
        mercator : new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:900913'),
        osm_wms : new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:3857')
    };

    uses_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("US Layer", {
        strategies : [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
        projection : _projObj.wgs84,
        visibility : true,
        displayInLayerSwitcher : false,
        protocol : new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
            version : '1.0.0',
            url : 
'http://46.105.19.68/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/fradeve/public_html/ark-oia/ark-scrmap/wfs.map&service=WFS',
            featureType : USType
        })
    });

Here is what I get when moving around the slider cursor:

Where is the error? Everything seems fine to me...
