yesss I got the idea.
it seems great!
also i will follow your advice "display the layer with WMS" after the search
function completed.
but now when i enter the text to search (id), all features are displayed
again. not just what i searched for.
am not sure what's wrong
*
var vessels = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("The Vessels", {
displayOutsideMaxExtent: true,
styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap(style),
maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-180, -90,
180,90)transform(geographic,mercator),
sphericalMercator: true,
strategies: [strategy], //BBOX strategy
protocol: wfsprotocol
});
*and the other parts are exactly as you wrote*
vessels.destroyFeatures();
vessels.addFeatures(request.features);
map.zoomToExtent(sExt);
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
<input type="text" name="Search" id="searchText" value="Enter the id "
style="text-align:right" maxlength="100" />
