[OpenLayers-Dev] Vetor Feature Hover Informaion

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Richard,

   Maybe these examples could help :

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature-openpopup.html
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/highlight-feature.html

   And you're right about the vector feature being the best method to 
create icons by the way.

Regards,

Alexandre
