[OpenLayers-Users] How to get information on clicking on a polygon

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi. Is your polygon layer a vector (WFS for example) layer? If so you
don't need GetFeatureInfo or anything like that since the data
associated with your polygon can be retrieved while getting the
polygon coords from the server. If your polygon layer is a WMS layer
you indeed can use GetFeatureInfo. Cheers,
