[OpenLayers-Users] Text layer and mouseover

[bradleyspencer]

Yes you can. You have to also do a mouseout event as well of course. I have
done this in the following application thanks to someone else.

http://demo.cubewerx.com.au/koalas/koalaHab.html

To see the markers just select a Electoral Boundary (Dickson) and mouseover
the Koala Icons shown.
The function 'paint_marker' does all the work.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,


Brad Spencer

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Text layer and mouseover

Hi,

Does anybody ever displayed the popups of markers on the mouseover
function instead of the click in a text layer? Is there any
contraindication to do that?

That's what we call a MapTips.

I have a text layer displaying cities. Currently when I click on a
marker, I get a popup that tells me the city name and give me a link to
go to another page containing the city description. That works great!

What I would like is to open the popup containing the city name as soon
as the mouse go over the city marker and go to the URL when you click on
the city marker.

Is it something you would like to see to be contributed?

Julien
