[OpenLayers-Users] Labels/Tooltips on mouse over a Vector layer

[Sajeer...]

 *

Hi,

try this one,





function
* onFeatureSelect(feature) {

selectedFeature = feature;

popup =
*new*
OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud("",

feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat(),

*new* OpenLayers.Size(100,100),

"<div style='padding:15px 5px 5px 10px;'>"+

"<table style='font-size:13px;color:red'>"+

"<tr>"+

"<td width='40%'>Name</td>"+

"<td width='5%'>:</td>"+

"<td>"+feature.attributes.label+"</td>"+

"</tr>"+

"</table></div>",

*null*, *true*, onPopupClose);

feature.popup = popup;

map.addPopup(popup);

}

*function* onPopupClose(evt) {

selectControl.unselect(selectedFeature);

}

*function* onFeatureUnselect(feature) {

*      *map.removePopup(feature.popup);

feature.popup.destroy();

feature.popup = *null*;

}

var  kmlLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML(.............);


var selectControl = *new* OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(kmlLayer,

{hover: *true*,onSelect: onFeatureSelect, onUnselect: onFeatureUnselect});

map.addControl(selectControl);

selectControl.activate();

Regards

Sajeer
