[OpenLayers-Users] creating a custom permalink

[Puneet Kishor]

I am looking for ideas on how to accomplish the following with the permalink control...


I have a map view constructed with the usual turn a couple of three layers on and zoom to a specific location. To this, I want to add a vector polygon constructed on the map which has, in turn, triggered an ajax call to the server and returned with the prescribed features within that polygon and the results of the call have done something in the map.

For example, say I have a div called "results" which displays the records from a "points" layer of the features within a polgyon. So, how would I go about extending the permalink control output to add all this? Eventually I would just want to save all the gobbledegook on the server side and generate a custom URI that can be emailed to other users.

Suggestion?
