[OpenLayers-Users] Displaying a popup on mouse over AND a different popup on click.

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Adrian,

  Take a look at this example (1).  You can use 2 SelectFeature controls 
for what you need, one with hover:true and highlightOnly:true, the other 
with hover false.  The first one won't actually select the feature and 
you can register 3 kinds of "highlight" events (see the source) to 
display your small div/popup.

Hope this helps,

Alexandre
