Rich,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have looked at using WMS and geoserver, but I am using a hosted web site for the map that I am working on. Wouldn't I need access to the server the map is being used on in order to utilize that approach?

I am new to openlayers and web mapping, and see that I have a tremendous amount to learn. When you have returns from your search page, what type of call are you making to openlayers with the "Map It" links to highlight and zoom to a specific parcel? Thanks, Jerome A. 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
