The first part is possible with a selectfeature control, as demonstrated with the sundials.html example that we've been discussing in the email thread you responded to. The latter is not possible within OpenLayers trunk at this time. > One solution is to use something smilair to GeoRSS example at > http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/georss-markers.html, that would give > everyhing that I wanted except a label, but I get the impression that > not what GeoRSS is designed for. GeoRSS could be used like this. So could a Layer.GML with a SelectFeature control -- and you get a lot more control over the latter at the application level.
