<DIV></DIV>Thanks to the suggestion made by Barend Köbben I found this post <A

which was showing what I need.<BR><BR>I've altered the example and it is now
running at <A

when I put the code (not that much) in the webpage with the participants I get
horizontal transparent 'lines' in my OSM base map.<BR>Because my div has a gray
background the lines are gray as well.<BR>This is probably some CSS issue, but I
haven't figured it out.<BR><A

<DIV class=im>Hi Paul,<BR><BR>For such a relatively simple map I would
probably not even use a WxS, just<BR>a geojson file of a simple world map and
javascript to read the attributes<BR>of how many visitors per country. You
could probably use OpenLayers for<BR>that (which I did not try myself), but
other solutions too, see e.g the<BR>example of a simple thematic maps made
with the D3 library at<BR><A
href="http://kartoweb.itc.nl/kobben/test/buurten.html"
target=_blank>http://kartoweb.itc.nl/kobben/test/buurten.html</A><BR><BR>BTW,
you should of course not use a map where you color countries if a<BR>person
comes from there (a so-called choropleth or chorochromatic map).<BR>That would
greatly misdirect the user into thinking many people come from<BR>e.g. Russia,
because he sees a huge red polygon, while none seem to come<BR>from Luxemburg
(which he won't see at al at that scale). In reality maybe<BR>20 are from
Luxemburg and only 1 from Russia. Better use proportional<BR>point symbols per
country, see ge, the map "AANT_INW" in the example<BR>mentioned
above...<BR><BR>Barend<BR><BR>--<BR>Barend Köbben<BR>Senior Lecturer, ITC -

<DIV class=h5>>Hi,<BR>><BR>>I'm working on a kind of user
map.<BR>>It should be a map with all the countries of the world and the
countries<BR>>are colored if someone from that country is coming to the
Open Source GIS<BR>>conference.<BR>>I also need a label with the name of
the country and the number of people.<BR>><BR>>I have some experience
with OL together with GeoServer and PostGIS, but<BR>>for this web page I
can't use that.<BR>><BR>>I think I need a WFS server that has the
countries of the world and then<BR>>use a GML file with my data to create
the labels and color the countries,<BR>>am I right?<BR>><BR>>I'm
already stuck at the first step. Is a public WFS server available<BR>>that
I can use to do this?<BR>><BR>>I've already made a static image of what
I want, but I would rather use<BR>>OL.<BR>>Can anybody advise me on
this?<BR>><BR>>Here are my static images:<BR>><A
