[OpenLayers-Users] Hyperlinked Features

[Darren Cope]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the link.  That is the closest example I could find as
well.  However, my JavaScript knowledge is minimal, so I can't seem to
figure it out.  Is there an easier way to accomplish what I want, or
will I have to dig into learning JavaScript?  I have seem some
OpenLayers demos with an "identify" tool.  Perhaps that is the way to
go, with a hyperlink showing up as one of the identify results?

Anyone else have any thoughts?
