[OpenLayers-Users] Popup over point feature with hover:true

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi list,

  I have WFS layer of points with a select control to open popups when 
the mouse is over a feature ( hover:true ).

  Problem is : the popup div covers half of the feature and if I get the 
mouse near that area, the popup keeps disappearing and reappearing ( 
like a glitch).  That's because of the position of the popup ( center of 
the feature) given by the feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat() 
functions, which returns the only point available ( point layer ).

    popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud(
        "chicken",
        feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat(),
        null,
        szHTML,
        null, true, onPopupClose);

    So, how could I "offset" the popup a little to make it outside the 
point radius ?  I also use a custom pointRadius also btw...
