Hi, I've been working quite in-depth with OpenLayers for a while now without facing any significant problems. However, I recently discovered something that puzzled me big time. The concern I encountered was during handling of an event for selecting a feature using the basic select control. When working with the source element of the event object (which, in this case, is the VML element to be selected), and trying to GET a 'type' attribute from it, all the elements' attributes evaluate to 'Failed' and its downhill from there on. A simple example of what I'm talking about would be running this basic line of code, for some existing geometry: Var x = srcElement.type ( where srcElement could be any VML element like $( 'OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon_175') ) The error is only caused by the getting of the 'type' attribute from the vml, but if I try setting that attribute (srcElement.type = ""), then everything is still ok. Personally, we do not need the 'type' attribute in our logic, however, the concern was caused by a third party tool (An Infragistics control) which handles form events and accesses some attributes of the event objects' srcElement, including 'type', which leads to the failure in the application. To work around it from the OpenLayers API, I tried to add the 'type' attribute with en empty string value during the creation of the vml node in the renderer, and off-course as I mentioned, no problem with setting, but no luck with getting. The evaluation of the expression still led to the same 'failed' value of all attributes of the vml element. I'd rather not modify the infragistics' js source files, but if there is no other way, I will do so. The browser I am using is IE v7.0. Any help concerning this issue is truly appreciated.
