[OpenLayers-Users] split WMS GetFeatureInfo results

[Roald de Wit]

Hi,

If you want more control *and* if your WMS server supports WFS (like 
MapServer and GeoServer), you could also consider sending a WFS 
GetFeature request and tell the service exactly what attributes you want 
to have returned. You can retrieve them as GML or GeoJSON for example 
(or KML, etc) and display them in your application the way you want it. 
I use my own html templates with variables representing the attributes 
and have those replaced with their value for example.

Regards,

Roald
