Hi, I had already seen it. But it does not work bec' of 2 reasons:
1) The Required Query_Layers parameter for GetFeatureInfo is not mentioned.This has to be done in the map file. 2) The code for infocontrol is: infoControls = { click: new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({ url: 'http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms', title: 'Identify features by clicking', layers: [water], queryVisible: true }), hover: new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({ url: 'http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms', title: 'Identify features by clicking', layers: [water], hover: true, // defining a custom format options here formatOptions: { typeName: 'water_bodies', featureNS: 'http://www.openplans.org/topp' }, queryVisible: true }) } The url of WMSGetFeatureInfo is an external url i.e accessing some external data. What if I'm using mapserver and its pointing to shape(.shp) files. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/getting-Feature-Info-data-directly-from-shp-files-tp4767879p4776900.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
