[OpenLayers-Users] Layer Styling - Column names

[uk52rob]

I'm having issues getting OpenLayers.Style to pick up my column names as they have a period in their names, e.g. 'sites.name'


Here is an example:

var style = new OpenLayers.Style();
                //rule used for all polygons
                var rule_sites = new OpenLayers.Rule({
                symbolizer: {
                fillColor: "#ff9a9a",
                fillOpacity: 0.5,
                strokeColor: "#000000",
                strokeWidth: 1,
                strokeDashstyle: "solid",
                label: " ${sites.name}",
                labelAlign: "cc",
                fontColor: "#333333",
                fontOpacity: 0.9,
                fontFamily: "Arial",
                fontSize: 14}
                    });

This simply displays '${sites.name}' on the map, whereas if I change the column name from 'sites.name' to 'name' it works fine.

I have tried '${sites\\.name}' to escape the period, but this does not work.

Does anyone know how to get around this (without having to change the column names..)?

Thanks,

Rob
