hi Alex,<br><br>You can find a way to pick up a clickevent in the map at <a href="http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.htm">http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.htm</a> :<br><br><pre id="line1">map.events.register("click", map, function(e) {
<br> var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromViewPortPx(e.xy);<br> alert("You clicked near " + lonlat.lat + " N, " +<br> + lonlat.lon + " E");
<br> });</pre><br>You can change the alert part to a destroy popup code. You should know though that the code you've written destroys a specific popup, named 'popup'. The add function in this example could also have been:
<br><br><pre id="line1">daspop = new OpenLayers.Popup("chicken", <br> new OpenLayers.LonLat(5,40),<br> new OpenLayers.Size(200,200),
<br> "example popup",<br> true);<br> <br> map.addPopup(daspop);<br></pre><br> <div><span class="gmail_quote">In which case the destroy code would have been:
<br><br></span><pre id="line1">markers.map.removePopup(daspop);<br> daspop.<span id="__firefox-findbar-search-id" style="padding: 0pt; background-color: yellow; color: black; display: inline; font-size: inherit;">
destroy</span>();<br> daspop = null;</pre><br><span class="gmail_quote">In other words, in your code you will have to find out the name of the popup that is being shown, before you can destroy it. I have no idea how you should do that. Maybe someone else could answer that (or correct me when I'm wrong)?

<br>Hi list,<br><br>I'm using OpenLayers.Layer.Text to plot some markers. I'd like popups to<br>disappear when a click on the map is done. Right now, the popup<br>disappear only if (1) another markers is selected and a new popup first
<br>this second marker is shown, or if (2) the marker is clicked again. This<br>is not convenient to me.<br><br>I looked at the popups.html example provided. I simply added the destroy<br>popup code.<br><br>In my map div I added:
<br><div id="map" onclick="destroy()"></div><br><br>and in my script section:<br>function destroy() {<br> popup.destroy();<br> }<br><br>But it does not work. Any idea why? It there another way to remove
<br>popups on clicks? Should I open a ticket?<br><br>Thanks & have a great Friday!<br><br>Alex :-)<br><br>--<br>Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.<br>Environnement Canada / Environment Canada<br>Centre météorologique canadien / Canadian Meteorological Centre
