I've also tried this with a URL style request within Openlayers and while I got different results (nothing was selected or displayed from that layer) it still was not what I expected. The second filter I used was: filter: '<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>nom_nr</PropertyName><Literal>39</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>' This filter uses a different field in the database but it should select more or less the same features. I replaced the CQL filter I listed before with this but without success. Both this filter and the CQL filter return correct results when I paste them in the URL. It's just the openlayers syntax that is giving me headaches. Based on what I've seen on the list-serve postings this should work. If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks, Todd
