[OpenLayers-Users] Register multiple map layers for same event... how???

[plen]

Eric, 
  
Sorry for replying back in this email but I have tried several times to reply on the forum with no luck.  Not sure why the reply would not post.  In any case this is what I stated: 
------------------------------ 
No, you did not misunderstand my question.  I just put it in two parts.  Thanks for your latest response.  It verifies one of our main issues.  
On a side note, we did make the switch from creating OpenLayers.Marker markers (OpenLayers.Layer.Markers layer) to creating OpenLayers.Feature.Vector features (OpenLayers.Layer.Vector layer) as you indicated, but what we have found out is that adding the OpenLayers.Feature.Vector features to the map is a MUCH more expensive (timewise) operation than adding OpenLayers.Marker markers to the map.  Because of this, we want to go back to creating OpenLayers.Marker markers because performance is so much better. 
----------------------------- 
Thanks again for your help Eric - Peter

Anyway, it is now recommended to use Layer.Vector for markers as well, through the externalGraphic style property.
