I apologize I was not giving all the information. It IS a WMS layer and I'm using GeoServer.<br><br>Can I use a Vector layer, and still "smartly" query the database to only show documents that would be seen on screen. I have a lot of points that come from the layer, and wouldn't want to always be getting the whole data set.<br>
<br>Thank you,<br><br>Dave<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 10:38 AM, Alexandre Dube <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adube@mapgears.com">adube@mapgears.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
What kind of wms server are you using. MapServer ? GeoServer ? Your question seems more related to one of theses project since you seem to be using a WMS layer.<br>
<br>
One the other hand, if you used a Vector layer instead with a Cluster strategy, you could replicate what you need with OpenLayers. The use of Vector features can slow down your application if you have a lot of them, though. See the OpenLayers example (1) for more.<br>

Essentially, on my maps, there are multiple things happening at the same exact location. Unfortunately right I can't tell that by looking at it (there's only one dot being shown) and I can only tell there's more than one thing happening when I click on it and do the getFeatureInfo request.<br>

Does anyone know of a way to give a visual cue to the users? Off the top of my head I'm thinking either put a number next to it, or just change the color using the sld?<br></div>
