[OpenLayers-Users] Re: Filtering a vector Layer

[Aparna]

Here is an example.

The WFS layer

var state = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Karnataka", {
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX()],
                filter:"",
                protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
                    version: "1.1.0",
                    url: "http://Aparna:8085/geoserver/wfs",

                    featureType: "detail",
                    featureNS: "http://opengeo.org/India"

                })

            });

next what I have is a checkbox that is used to filter the layer
I have an array that added the value of every checkbox on the click event.

var list = '';
                $('#schcat input[type="checkbox"]:checked').each(function(){
                list += $('#schcat').attr('id').toUpperCase() +"="
+($(this).val()) + ' OR '
                });
                str =list.substring(0,list.length-3);
                //alert(str);
                var x= str.length;

If the length of the array is greater than zero then filter the layers

               var newfilter=format.read(str);
                map.layers[2].filter=newfilter;
                map.layers[2].refresh({force:true});
