[OpenLayers-Users] setting WKT returned from postGIS in form fieldto openlayers feature

[Arnd Wippermann]

if I add a right parenthesis at the end of your wkt string, I can import it
to OpenLayers with OpenLayers.Format.WKT. It's some area in Richmond at
Staples Mill Road.

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] setting WKT returned from postGIS in form
fieldto openlayers feature



My application returns a WKT representation of an element geometry in a
hidden form field.  I am trying to take that geometry and push it into an
openlayers feature layer, so that as the user goes views different elements
from the PG server, those features appear in the foreground on the OL map.

 

I have tried to implement some code from the WKT example, but I am not
having any luck.  The feature fails to draw, although I know it is there,
because I have been using an alert() to show me the contents of the WKT
string.  Thus, I am guessing that somehow my format returned from PostGIS is
incorrect.  Here is the contents of my hidden form field:
