[OpenLayers-Users] WMSGetFeatureInfo (popup) not working

[Nomeneta Saili]

Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the help. I think i am getting closer now. It now does
tries to provide the information now when i click but it does not
popup. I know it is trying because the cursor is showing the waiting
animation with the circling cursor animation. It is the same on the
example but the example does eventually provide the popup unlike my
application.

I think the issue might be with my proxy setting?.
"OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "proxy.cgi?url=";"
