Oh so you have your data in an WFS great. Then take the geobliki example and here are the steps to get you up and running in no time:
1) check that the geobliki demo runs on your machine (want to make sure that you have the proxy code working first before we start editing anything) 2) copy the contents of the geobliki directory into another one 3) edit config.xml a) change to be your wfs address: <webServiceUrl>http://eo1.geobliki.com/wfs</webServiceUrl> b) change eo1 to your namespace(s) add all of the ones from your data <namespace>xmlns:gml='http://www.opengis.net/gml' xmlns:eo1='http://eo1.gsfc.nasa.gov/' xmlns:wfs='http://www.opengis.net/wfs' xmlns:ows='http://www.opengis.net/ows'</namespace> c) change to match your data (in theory this should be the same, but in case) <nodeSelectXpath>//gml:featureMember</nodeSelectXpath> d) change to tell which element contains your data name (the name field for your feature) <featureTagName>eo1:name</featureTagName> e) change to match your gml location element name <coordsTagName>eo1:location</coordsTagName> <coordSelectXpath>//eo1:location/gml:Point/gml:pos</coordSelectXpath> 4) edit datapopup.xsl. It is the stylesheet which processes the child elements of the nodeSelectXpath (defined in config.xml). This is how you set the contents of the popup window. 5) edit index.html: change the combo box to list your features (so replace ali and hyperion) 6) edit Demisworldmap.xml to point at your WMS of choice right now it's using Demis. You can add more than one layer if needed. This should get you started. -Linda On 6/29/07 4:12 PM, "Amy Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, as far as AJAX goes, I'm figuring that out. > > I've been looking at wfsGetFeature and it doesn't output data the way I > want, so I've been trying to understand how to alter it.
