[OpenLayers-Users] Trying to draw a box on a map, and get the coordinates back.

[Jtrsmith]

i am not sure i explained what i was looking for correctly. here is an
example.

vectors.events.register('featureadded', vectors, findcoords);
function findcoords (feature) {
     var vertices = feature.geometry.getVertices();
     document.getElementById('output').value = 'ID:' + vertices;
}

the event does actually trigger, however, feature.geometry.getVertices()
does not work.

i am using geojson to display other polygons on the map, and would like the
variable vertices to get the coordinates of the polygon vertices so that i
can add a new polygon to the map and save the coordinates in a database.
