[OpenLayers-Users] Highlighting the selected geometry

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Yep,
thanks. I am using Geoserver so SLD approach is ok. One stupid question. 
I started to play around with GetFeature, but how can you get just the 
feature you clicked. I tried something similar like in OL example [1], 
but with GetFeature and WFS. So the following is what I tried:

   map.events.register('click', null, function (e) {
      OpenLayers.Util.getElement('nodelist').innerHTML = "Odota hetki...";
          var url =  wfs.getFullRequestString({
               SERVICE: 'WFS',
               VERSION: '1.0.0',
               REQUEST: 'GetFeature',
               OUTPUTFORMAT: 'text/xml; subtype=gml/2.1.2',
               PROPERTYNAME: 'LAYER',
               MAXFEATURES: 3,
               TYPENAME: 'dikanet:karsa_region',
               SRSNAME: 'EPSG:2393',
               BBOX: wfs.map.getExtent().toBBOX()},
                          "http://karsamaki.digikartta.net/asemakaavat/wfs"
                          );
               OpenLayers.loadURL(url,'',this,setHTML);
               Event.stop(e);
               });

   function setHTML(response) {
   OpenLayers.Util.getElement('nodelist').innerHTML = 
response.responseText;
};

But this gives me all the feautures in the current viewport. How can I 
filter out the rest and just take the one I clicked?
