Hi Adrian, Take a look at this example (1). You can use 2 SelectFeature controls for what you need, one with hover:true and highlightOnly:true, the other with hover false. The first one won't actually select the feature and you can register 3 kinds of "highlight" events (see the source) to display your small div/popup.
Hope this helps, Alexandre (1) http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/highlight-feature.html Adrian Popa wrote: > Hello everyone, > > This is sort of a repeat message of "Re: [OpenLayers-Users] > Labels/Tooltips on mouse over a Vector layer" - but with a slightly > different idea. > > Problem: I want to display a small div/popup with the marker's name > when the user hovers his mouse over the location, and I want to > display a bigger popup when the user actually clicks on the location. > > Current status: > * I can use {hover: true} to register > featureselected/featureunselected when I hover over a marker instead > on when I click on the maker. > * I haven't found any events that could differentiate between hover > and click > > I'm thinking I could register my select control with hover: true and > allow featureselected to execute the same function for both when I > click on the makrer as well as when I hover over the marker.
