[OpenLayers-Users] getFeatureInfo request in new window + new map?

[S.Reena]

Hey Maria,

Just wanted to know whether you were able to make the id dynamic as I too
need to do the same :)

Cheers
Reena.


thanks for your response. If i want to set the id as a specific value e.g
ID=721 then i'm able to do that. what i really need is to set the id
dynamically, using an attribute value returned from a getFeatureInfo
request. That is to say, something like:

layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
        "http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0", {layers: 'basic', 'ID':
'[attribute_name'} );
map.addLayer(layer);

but this doesn't seem to work. does it matter if [attribute_name] is in the
header.html or in the main template ?
