Don't forget to also look at OpenLayers:

http://www.openlayers.org

This should be possible with DHTML/javascript so without SVG, look at the
OpenLayers marker layers.

Best regards,

Hi,

To be able to replace our existing geo-engine, we need to find a way
to implement the following:
- When you move your mouse over a point on the map, it highlights to
a different colour
   (&quot;hotspot&quot; layer in geomedia webmap - dynamic styles?)
- The tooltip texts which show information about the current location.

We want to stay viewer-independent, if possible. We current are
testing with the Geoserver mapbuilder viewer and the flash Flamingo
viewer.

My questions:
- Are we forced to use SVG for this kind of interaction?
- Can someone give me pointers in the direction of a solution to the
above mentioned problems?

Kind regards,

Pieter

Thanks for this information. The developers are looking at it right
now, and think they can use
this.

Kind regards,

Hi,

OpenLayers can unfortunately not be used in combination with the
Flamingo viewer.

If the Flamingo viewer were to implement support for a 'hotspot layer'
(layer containing points with javascript/html actions bound to them),
how would I go around configuring this in Geoserver?

Kind regards,

Pieter
