Hi Richard,

  Maybe these examples could help :

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature-openpopup.html
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/highlight-feature.html

And you're right about the vector feature being the best method to create icons by the way.

Regards,

Alexandre

Hi All.

I have a problem I'm trying to solve, but unfortunately I am not having much luck so I was wondering whether anyone has seen this before.

I have created a map that plots hotels on a layer as vector features. I have used the style property of the vector feature to change the look of the icon depending on availability etc. The problem I am having is that I want to hover over the hotels, and on hover I want to display some rate information about that particular hotel, alternatively I want to provide the same information on click. I was trying to use the createPopup() method on the vector, but, as the document states that returns NULL which isn't much use. To my understanding a vector feature is the best method of creating icons on the map and binding events to them (please correct me if I am wrong), but I can't seem to work out a solution for creating information popups.

Does anyone have any ideas, or have had this problem themselves? I am completely open to suggestion as I'm not convinced I'm using OpenLayers correctly in this context. Also, sorry if I haven't explained myself very well.

Thanks for you help.

Kind Regards,
Richard Ive
