Hi Bart, thank you for that hint.
I have got it to run with the wms/wfs of layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "States WMS/WFS", "http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows", {layers: 'topp:states', format: 'image/gif'} ); but I had no luck so far with my own wms/wfs. I use MapServer 5.4 and I have build also ONE mapfile that works as WMS AND WFS. If I do a mouseover on the areas I can see in firebug that the wfs is recognised, I get back e.g. ---------------------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns:ms="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver http://www.tourismus-maps.de/cgi-bin/mapserv54 ?map=/home/promotion/behncke/gastronomap_wms/gastronomap_wms.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0& ;REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=gastronomie_ows&OUTPUTFORMAT=text/xml; subtype=gml/3.1 .1 http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd"> <gml:boundedBy> <gml:Envelope srsName="EPSG:4326"> <gml:lowerCorner>8.018902 52.293344</gml:lowerCorner> <gml:upperCorner>8.022836 52.296208</gml:upperCorner> </gml:Envelope> </gml:boundedBy> <gml:featureMember> <ms:gastronomie_ows gml:id="gastronomie_ows.7798543.000"> <gml:boundedBy> <gml:Envelope srsName="EPSG:4326"> <gml:lowerCorner>8.018902 52.293344</gml:lowerCorner> <gml:upperCorner>8.022836 52.296208</gml:upperCorner> </gml:Envelope> </gml:boundedBy> <ms:msGeometry> <gml:Polygon srsName="EPSG:4326"> <gml:exterior> <gml:LinearRing> <gml:posList srsDimension="2">8.020861 52.296208 8.020993 52.295888 8.020546 52.295777 8.020815 52.294923 8.020891 52.294862 8.022112 52.294918 8.022827 52.294175 8.022655 52.294036 8.022836 52.293747 8.022221 52.293344 8.019422 52.294743 8.018902 52.295672 8.020861 52.296208 </gml:posList > </gml:LinearRing> </gml:exterior> </gml:Polygon> </ms:msGeometry> <ms:osm_id>7798543.000</ms:osm_id> <ms:name></ms:name> <ms:type>forest</ms:type> </ms:gastronomie_ows> </gml:featureMember> </wfs:FeatureCollection> ------------------ .....but the hovering/highlighting does not work. Has anybody an idea why this can be? Do I need any special entries in the Mapfile? The typical WMS/WFS-requests work fine so far.
