[OpenLayers-Users] Click on OpenLayers.Feature.Vector

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

you need to create an OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature instance, 
configure it with your vector layer, and add it to the map. You can then 
listen for the layer's "featureselected" event.

See the [1] example if you need a code snippet. The example does exactly 
the same, but on two different layers instead of just one.

Regards,
Andreas.

What I need now is triggering an event when a feature was clicked. Very basically my code looks like this:
>> layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("layer");
>> map.addLayers([layer]);
>> ftr = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(new OpenLayers.Geometry.Point(lon, lat), null, styleMarker); // an icon
>> layer.addFeatures([ftr]);
