Wendell > This probably deserves a different subject/thread. There are a *lot* of ways that people do this and I'm not going to say that I'm doing it the best way. My "Map It" function makes an AJAX call to a php function that returns the extent of the selected features (there can be many features selected). It then instructs OpenLayer to zoom to that extent, and adds a layer with the selected features highlighted. I am using WMS style requests, so all features are being drawn on the server. I am no rendering vectors in the browser, which seems to be a more popular approach with OpenLayers folks. Best regards, Rich -- Richard Greenwood [email protected] www.greenwoodmap.com
