[OpenLayers-Users] displaying Features

[Keith]

I've been playing around with the feature object, but I can't get the marker
attribute to display on the map.

 

I suspect that this is because I don't know the correct method for adding a
feature to a layer.  This seems like a trivial problem, but I haven't found
a function that straight up adds a feature to the layer.  I have included a
"dumbed-down" version of the code I'm working with below.

 

I'm hoping to use the feature as the object in the event register call, so
that I can access its attributes doing the mousedown event.  I'd be very
appreciative if someone can clue me into how to accomplish this.

 

Am I missing anything else?

 

 

Code:

<!----------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

function addFeature(layer,lonlat,data) {

                                                                

            newFeature = new OpenLayers.Feature(layer,lonlat,data);

            

            newFeature.marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(lonlat,

                                    new
OpenLayers.Icon("/kamap/mapserver/images/AQUA.png",new
OpenLayers.Size(20,34)));

 

            newFeature.marker.size = new OpenLayers.Size(20,34);

                                                            

            newFeature.marker.events.register("mousedown", newFeature,
mousedown);

    }

 

                        

<!----------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

function mousedown(evt) {

 


document.write("____DEBUG LINE : "     +    this.layer );

document.write("____DEBUG LINE : "     +    this.lonlat );

document.write("____DEBUG LINE : "     +    this.data );

                                   

}
