Greg, Thank you very much for your reply. Is there a way to input the feature identifier, or would that have to be coded in a script?

Assuming you have your Control.SelectFeature already defined and working with a click, you should be able to use its "select" method to manually feed it a feature: /// your Control clicker = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(blah blah); // some arbitrary chosen Feature from the vector layer feature = VECTORS.features[7]; // have the Select tool select this feature clicker.select(feature); -- Greg Allensworth, Web GIS Developer BS A+ Network+ Security+ Linux+ Server+ GreenInfo Network - Information and Mapping in the Public Interest 564 Market Street, Suite 510 San Francisco CA 94104 PH: 415-979-0343 x302 FX: 415-979-0371 email: [email protected] Web: www.GreenInfo.org www.MapsPortal.org Subscribe to MapLines, our e-newsletter, at www.GreenInfo.org _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
