<div></div>Thanks to the suggestion made by Barend Köbben I found this post <a href="http://thematicmapping.org/playground/openlayers_propsymbols_geojson.php" target="_blank">http://thematicmapping.org/playground/openlayers_propsymbols_geojson.php</a>
which was showing what I need.<br><br>I've altered the example and it is now
running at <a href="http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/usermap.html" target="_blank">http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/usermap.html</a><br><br>But
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 href="http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/participants.php" target="_blank">http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/participants.php</a><br><br>Thanks
all for your help and if you have a suggestion of the fix the lines let me

<div>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>>Hi,<br>><br>>I'm working on a kind of user

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
