with WMS...<br>this might be too slow for a mouseover, but if you can do query by clicking, just add a click Event that does a getFeatureInfo request to the WMS server. that way, no need for an image map.<br><br>it'd use the x,y of the click and the extents of the viewPort.

<div>Well, the way my database is setup is the WFS adds an insane load to the server trying to create the WFS response (We are talking 1000s of points in a query).</div>

<div>I like WMS because its much faster on the server but i would need to throw an imagemap onto the WMS returned image. Can openlayers handle an imagemap thrown on top of a WMS layer, and if so any suggestions on making one?
