[OpenLayers-Users] Question about selected feature

[Jan van der Ven]

Hi,


Normally Ctrl-Click deselects and Shift-Click adds a feature to the
selection. This behaviour can be modified with the clickout property. See
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/ keyword select.

Kind regards,

Jan

Hi,

I don't have an answer for what you need. But, here's a demo I did (1). 
Maybe it's close to what you need to achieve. You could imagine that
"hovering" a feature would just highlight it and clicking on it would select
it and open a popup.

Regards,

Alexandre

so the user can click on the feature again to trigger the popup.  I was
looking at the documentation/source code and I didn't see a function to
unselect a feature, as that's what I think I need to do, sorry if I missed
it.
