[OpenLayers-Users] new state for features - 'viewed'

[Brian Busch]

I've been trying to write code to support adding a third state to a
feature. We already have 'default' and 'selected'. I'd like to have one
that once the user has selected the feature (or was done programmatically),
I'd like to style it so they know they've viewed it.

A good example of why: load into Google Earth a layer that has 100s of
features in the same spot, GE will display a "start burst" with your 100s
of push pins, you click on one of them and see the popup. You go back to
the same spot, and click, get the same star burst; you have no idea which
one you just looked at.

In our app, we want the same feature...I've tried to change the feature
style after selection (to a different externalGraphic) but can't seem to
make the magic work.

Anyone implemented this before? I've googled this to no end!

Thanks,

BDB
