[OpenLayers-Users] Highlight elements

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Christopher,

I believe this is like the mapserver Query functionality. if you do a 
query the query results highlighted on the map. In the description 
below, the id could be a UID for a shapefile or a database record or 
whatever and they want to be able to highlight that object(s) on the 
map. This implies some backend process that could select those objects 
and render an image that could then be overlaid on the map or some 
similar other process.
