[OpenLayers-Users] Identifiying which marker has been clicked in callback

[Pierre GIRAUD]

The second argument in the events.register correspond to the context
in which the callback will be executed. That means that by using the
"this" keyword in the callback you will access to object given as
context (scope).

In your case,

function markerClicked(evt) {
    alert (this.icon.url); // will return the url of the icon of the
clicked marker
}

Do you need something more specific ?

Regards,
Pierre
