[OpenLayers-Users] distinguish "click" from "drag"

[Bobby Braswell]

Sorry for not being more specific. Here is the demo:
http://waage.sr.unh.edu/goo/landcover_ol.html? 
lat=44.12109&lon=-95.97656&zoom=3&layers=B00TT

I'm using Firefox and Safari, and get the same behavior in both  
browsers. I haven't tried IE yet.

If you drag the map, you will see feature info text appear in the div  
on the lower right, which is only triggered by the "click" event, or  
so I thought it should be.

Thanks,
Rob
