Honestly I don't know, you should check on the OpenLayers mailing list, asking how to add a vendor option. It may just be an issue with the way the query is made, CQL filters do work only in GET requests. E.g.: http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=topp:states&cql_filter=STATE_NAME%20LIKE%20%27M%25%27&propertyName=STATE_NAME Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
