[OpenLayers-Users] control.SelectFeature

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Sarah,

Have you tried to put your wfs2 layer on top of your layers (as the last 
one added to the map) ? Only the top-most layer can have its features 
selected, unless you add all the vector layers to the SelectFeature control.

Also, you could use only one layer (wfs2) for feature selection instead 
of two. It seems kinda odd to copy features from one layer to an other 
for the purpose of "selection". Check the first example about that 
matter (the other is just to let you know of the cool 'highlight' 
feature you might be interested into ):

Best regards,

Alexandre
