[OpenLayers-Users] WMS & ImageMa

[Brent Pedersen]

with WMS...
this might be too slow for a mouseover, but if you can do query by clicking,
just add a click Event that does a getFeatureInfo request to the WMS server.
that way, no need for an image map.

it'd use the x,y of the click and the extents of the viewPort.
