[OpenLayers-Users] wfs feature geometry based on one attribute value

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi,

what is the easiest and the less performance consuming method to 
retrieve a geometry (actually the bounds would be enough) if I know an 
attribute value on that particular feature and I also know that there is 
only one feature having that particular attribute value? Layer is WFS 
and is already loaded.

So what I want is that when the user fills in the attribute field and 
submits the form, he/she gets the geometry zoomed to fit. (Actually 
that's not so simple, but with that I do my testing.)
