<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I am using GeoExt, ExtJS, and OpenLayers to develop the front end for web mapping, GeoServer to serve maps as WMS and WFS & PostgreSql/PostGIS for database having spatial and non-spatial data.</FONT></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I have cities & school data as point in their respective tables in the database which are publish through GeoServer. School table is linked with cities using cityID.</FONT></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I want to develop a form that contains cities as text box and school as dropdown loaded from the database, so that a user can perform search on it and the map is zoomed to that particular area with non-spatial information display in a separate grid.</FONT></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I don’t know how to load the data in the combo box / dropdown from the DB using the above software stack and perform some searching. How to zoom to a particular location based on the criteria and display non-spatial data in grid.</FONT></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I need some guidelines or examples for the problem stated above.</FONT></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>Can somebody help me in achieving this?</FONT></DIV>
