[OpenLayers-Users] Text layer and pop ups

[Abhi]

I resolved this by using a global boolean variable. In my select
onFeatureSelect method I set this variable to true and in onFeatureUnselect
I set this to false. In my click handler method I check as to whether the
variable is true. If so I do not create a marker and if not I do create a
marker. This solution solves my problem but it looks like a hack to me. Is
there a more elegent way to achieve this?
