[OpenLayers-Users] get feature info select box

[bradleyspencer]

Christopher,

Thanks for this it worked really well, I just loaded this new control at OL
loadmap time. However, I have a small problem. When I use the mouse drag
zoom control it appears to over ride this new control making it non
functional after the use of that zoom control. Does that sound right and
what would you suggest I do to manage this?

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

Shift-drag on http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/custom-control.html
does what you want, I think.
