[OpenLayers-Users] SelectFeature on click problem

[Brad Spencer]

Eric,

This did it. I had the following DragFeature control immediately after the
SelectFeature control. 

controls = { drag: new OpenLayers.Control.DragFeature(userMarkers,
{'onComplete': onCompleteMove} )	}
	map.addControl(controls['drag']);
	controls['drag'].activate();

So I put this DragFeature control before it and it at least triggered off
the onFeatureSelect function. But I had to destroy and re-insert the
SelectFeature control at end of the onCompleteMove function that I trigger
in the DragFeature because it was then not working after a drag. Tricks for
the unwary.

But all seems to be OK now. Thanks.

Cheers, Brad...

Hi. The only thing I can think of is some other control activated
after the select feature control. For example if the navigation
control is activated after the select feature control the former (its
drag handler actually) will prevent mousedown events from propagating
to the select control.
