[OpenLayers-Users] Select geojson feature from hyperlink

[Jtrsmith]

I have looked into this a little more, however i still cannot get it to work.
everthing works as far as the map is concerned. but my link to locate the
feature is not working.

here is what i have so far:

        var map, layer;
		function init(){
			map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map' );
			layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS", 
				"http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0",
				{layers: 'basic'} );
			map.addLayer(layer);
			var featurecollection = {
				"type": "FeatureCollection",
				"features": [{
					"type":"Feature",
					"id":"testspot",
					"geometry":{
						"type":"Polygon",
						"coordinates":[[[11.458333333332998, 1.1458333333333],

			};
			
			var geojson_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
			var vector_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(); 
           vector_layer.addFeatures(geojson_format.read(featurecollection));
		   map.addLayer(vector_layer);
           selectCtrl = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature( vector_layer,
                {clickout: true}
            );
            map.addControl(selectCtrl);
            selectCtrl.activate();
			map.zoomToMaxExtent();
			map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(0, 0), 0);
		}
    

Link to the right of map using onClick: 
onclick="selectCtrl.select('testspot')"> Locate Testspot
 



Any ideas?
