I resolved this by using a global boolean variable. In my select onFeatureSelect method I set this variable to true and in onFeatureUnselect I set this to false. In my click handler method I check as to whether the variable is true. If so I do not create a marker and if not I do create a marker. This solution solves my problem but it looks like a hack to me. Is there a more elegent way to achieve this?<br>

Thanks for that Christopher. I am using GML layer now and I have a cool pop up :). Now I have a problem which was not present when using a text layer.<br><br>What I want to achieve is, I have a map in which I am showing some icons (using GML layer). If the user clicks on these icons a pop up opens in which an image is shown. But if the user click on some other place in the map a marker needs to be placed there (But the marker should not be placed if the user clicks on the icons). So I am using a marker layer as well in my map. Now the trouble is once the user clicks on my icons the pop up opens but a marker is placed as well. I want to stop the event once the user clicks on the icons so that the markers are not created. This scenario was not present when I was using the text layer.<br>
<br>How do I prevent the markers from getting placed when the user clicks on the icons? <br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 4:13 PM, Christopher Schmidt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:crschmidt@metacarta.com" target="_blank">crschmidt@metacarta.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
