Miguel,<div><br></div><div>I think you either need to tell us a little more about what you're trying to do, or go back to the basics of web programming. OpenLayers is a Javascript library. How you store the GIS data on your server and how you deliver it to OL is up to you. You can use proprietary software, like ArcGIS server, or free stuff like mapserver, geoserver, etc. You can also write your own GML files. However, all of those options will still require you to customize the output in the client via javascript, there's no way around that I'm afraid. This list is primarily for people who are working with javascript. So, if you can tell us more about what you want to do we can be more helpful. Complaining that there's a lot of javascript to write on a javascript-library user's list is counter-productive to helping you.<br>

Hello there,<br><br>Yes, I get your idea but in the demos I've seen so far there is only one way to load a batch of markers and it's by using a textfile I've not seen another way to do so unless I code a lot of jscript... <br>

<br>Hi,<div><br></div><div>My guess would be that one way to approach this would be to have an XML file of your preference loaded into the side-bar and map at the same time. If you set a listener to the list-item and it's related feature, you should be able to get the functionality you're describing. Someone may have a more detailed solution.<br>

I want to show a sidebar with the information of the markers, kind of list where I could sort the data by date or by location and by selecting this list it directly shows me the position on the map.<br><br><br><br>> CC: <a href="mailto:openlayers-users@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">openlayers-users@lists.osgeo.org</a><br>
