Never use that. Wrap your function in anonymous instead.
BTW map doesnt have loadend event but on vector layer http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Map-js.html#OpenLayers.Map.EVENT_TYPES http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Layer-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.EVENT_TYPES layers[0].events.register("loadend", layers[0], function(evt){ //do what you have to do here... selectFeature(layers[0],oFeatures[0].fid)); }); Cheers >> However, it pretty much defeats the purpose of waiting for loadend if >> one adds a delay on top of it. > > Yes and no, it gets you closer to the time that you need so there less > likely going to be a problem with you setting a delay, that may get > impacted by a garbage collection of some other thing making the > sensitivity of when you can fire the selectFeature. > > Maybe is doesn't help, but try it and see if it solves the problem. > Maybe someone needs to file a bug against the loadend event. > > I don't like the answer, but if is works you have another data point > that might lead someone to fix the problem once and for all. ;) > > -Steve > >> Thanx, >> >> Yves >> >>> I have found that sometimes events fire but the thread adding stuff to >>> the DOM or something like that has not completed yet and adding a >>> 30-50ms delay before calling my code solved the problem. >>> >>> Yeah, I know it ugly, but give it a try and see if it helps. >>> >>> -Steve W >> > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users > -- Ivan Grcic _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
