[OpenLayers-Users] searching a feature with open layers

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi,

You can load your WFS with OpenLayers with option 'extractAttributes': true.


    //OpenLayers.ProxyHost for WFS needed!!!
    layerWFS = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS( "WFS Titel", WFS_Url,
        {typename: "POLYGONS", maxfeatures: 500}, { typename: "POLYGONS",
extractAttributes: true});
 
Now you have access to the features geometry and the features attributes.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
