[OpenLayers-Users] events not falling through Mapserver layer

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi.

How about a button to activate feature selection? This button would
activate the select feature control, which would move the vector layer
on top.

I understand that this isn't a perfect solution, but i have no better
suggestion at this point.
