[OpenLayers-Users] Nodelist Info / GetFeatureInfo not working

[Roald de Wit]

Hi Pascal,

You should pretty much always get at least *something* back: either an 
error or an empty reponse (FireBug would tell you). Have you really got 
":80" in your settings like below?

     OpenLayers.loadURL("http://myownhomepage.xyz:80/geoserver/wms", 
params, this, setHTML, setHTML);

If your Tomcat runs on port 80 then you can leave out the port number. 
That might do the trick (and yes, it would then have been a proxy 
issue). Like this:

     OpenLayers.loadURL("http://myownhomepage.xyz/geoserver/wms 
<http://myownhomepage.xyz:80/geoserver/wms>", params, this, setHTML, 
setHTML);

And since your OL is on the same server as your GS, you could even do this:

     OpenLayers.loadURL("/geoserver/wms 
<http://myownhomepage.xyz:80/geoserver/wms>", params, this, setHTML, 
setHTML);

And to deal with errors in your AJAX request, why not use a separate 
function like this:

     OpenLayers.loadURL("/geoserver/wms 
<http://myownhomepage.xyz:80/geoserver/wms>", params, this, setHTML, 
*onAjaxError*);

Regards, Roald
