[OpenLayers-Users] Clicking on a polygon-opening a page/link

[Nicholas Efremov-Kendall]

Hi Vikash,

You could try adding the href you wanted to the attributes of the features
in your WMS layer. You could then have the href embedded in a popup. You
could modify the following code which just pulls attribute data in as text.
Don't forget to add selectedFeature, selectControl, selectedFeature as
variables before you call the function. I'm sure there's another way to
implement this, but it's beyond my skillz.

//Popups
function onPopupClose(evt) {
            selectControl.unselect(selectedFeature);
        }

function onFeatureSelect(evt) {
            selectedFeature = evt.feature;
            popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud("chicken",

 evt.feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat(),
                                     null,
                                     "<div style='font-size:.8em'>Site_ID: "
+ evt.feature.attributes.SITE_ +"<hr />Locality: " +
evt.feature.attributes.location1+"<br/>Interpretation: " +
evt.feature.attributes.interp+"<br/> </div>",

                                     null, true, onPopupClose);
            evt.feature.popup = popup;
            map.addPopup(popup);
        }
  function onFeatureUnselect(evt) {
            map.removePopup(evt.feature.popup);
            evt.feature.popup.destroy();
            evt.feature.popup = null;
