[OpenLayers-Users] layer event transparency

[protos]

Thanks for your replies. 
Interesting that the vector layer won't allow events through.

I moved the vector layer down to the bottom so that all
other layers are on top. All the markers layers are working fine now
but something is blocking events on the vector layer now !
There's three marker layers and events can be caught on all three marker
layers, but not on the vector layer. Does this have something to do with 
the fact that I'm using selectFeature to pick up the events ?

Another thing I've noticed is that when setting up z-index'es using the
openLayers setLayerZIndex() function, if you then look at the html and 
the z-indexes assigned to the layer divs, they are completely different 
to what was assigned by setLayerZIndex. I don't mean the actual number
but the layer indexes as they are related to each other. I'm sure there's a
good reason 
for this but it's very confusing - Is there any documentation around on this
?
