Thanks for your replies. Interesting that the vector layer won't allow events through.
I moved the vector layer down to the bottom so that all other layers are on top. All the markers layers are working fine now but something is blocking events on the vector layer now ! There's three marker layers and events can be caught on all three marker layers, but not on the vector layer. Does this have something to do with the fact that I'm using selectFeature to pick up the events ? Another thing I've noticed is that when setting up z-index'es using the openLayers setLayerZIndex() function, if you then look at the html and the z-indexes assigned to the layer divs, they are completely different to what was assigned by setLayerZIndex. I don't mean the actual number but the layer indexes as they are related to each other. I'm sure there's a good reason for this but it's very confusing - Is there any documentation around on this ? protos wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a map with a transparent vector overlay over it, which has some > features. > I want the features to pickup click events and apart from that I want the > overlay > to allow all other events to go through the vector layer and get picked up > by the > layers below (map / markers etc) > > The vector overlay z-index is higher than all other layers. > There are no events registered on the vector layer. > The features use the selectFeature to pick up events on them.
