[OpenLayers-Users] Highlighting a feature?

[Gregor Mosheh]

Hey, all. I have an OL map running, even with TC, and it's slicker than 
a greased fish. Thanks for the software, and for the help in the past. 
Now to nag again. :)

A request has come up to highlight one or more polygon features, e.g. 
search results or the like. What would be an advisable way of doing this?

Using plain Mapserver, we used additional query args and a filter, to 
create a layer which would only show only those features in some ungodly 
highlight-worthy color. The WMS server is still Mapserver, and I'd not 
be averse to using a OL.Mapserver layer.

Alternately, I imagine that one could fetch the feature with WFS and 
draw it in some ungodly highlight-worthy color.

And if there's a wiki page or example that I missed, even better!
