[OpenLayers-Users] Different renderIntents when features have different styles?

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

If feature.style is set, it will always take precedence over layer
styles. To achieve what you want, create a stylemap with a "default"
and a "select" renderIntent. See
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/styles-rotation.html for an example
that does this.

Andreas.
