[OpenLayers-Users] Buffering a line feature

[Frederick Löbig]

Hi List,
first I want to thank everybody here for doing such a great job helping each other. I really did learn a lot from this list and also try to help others where it's possible. 
I know that it is possible to generate a temporarily buffer around a point and that I can keep it's radius static by using the getMapResolution command. But: Is the same thing possible with a line-feature? The Background is, that I have s network  of lines loaded as a layer to openlayers. I now want to put a button somewhere and a textfield where I can enter the radius and a buffer with that radius will be generated around the segments of the network on click, so I can see wich other features (from WMS, so no direct intersection is possible) are within a certain distance from the line itself...
I hove you understand what I mean :)
Best,Freddy
