Why do you want to do that? You can do: var f = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(); f.id = your_id; but make sure you don't assign the same id to different features, or weird things will happen, if you use a select feature control in particular. And if you want to assign a new id to the feature you'll have to redraw it after assignment: f.id = your_new_id; layer.drawFeature(f); But again, you have to have good reasons for assigning custom ids to features. Hence my initial question. -- Eric Lemoine Camptocamp France SAS Savoie Technolac, BP 352 73377 Le Bourget du Lac, Cedex Tel : 00 33 4 79 44 44 96 Mail : eric.lemo...@camptocamp.com http://www.camptocamp.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list us...@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
