[Users] Geoext Popup Question

[Jason Woolard]

hi all,

I've been able to cobble together some working popups from a kml layer 
based on the tutorial and examples. Currently the popups only work when 
a single layer is selected. If I turn on other layers the first selected 
layer is the only layer that continues to work. I'm wondering if it's 
possible to have the popups work when more than one layer in the tree is 
selected?

I'd also like to have several kml layers with popups on the page. What 
I've done based on the examples is issue a new 
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature for each kml layer,  the popups are 
closed with something like this:

 // unselect feature when the popup
 // is closed
        popup.on({
                close: function() {
                selectCtrl1.unselect(this.feature);
                selectCtrl2.unselect(this.feature);
                etc...
                etc...
                etc...
            }
            });

And the popups are created with these:

 // create popup on "featureselected"
            C17275410.events.on({
                featureselected: function(e) {
                    createPopup(e.feature);
                }
          });
            
        // create popup on "featureselected"
            C17358063.events.on({
                 featureselected: function(e) {
                     createPopup(e.feature);
                 }
            });

I wondering if I'm on the wrong track doing this the hard way or if 
there is maybe a better way to create one popup and reuse it each time 
you click the kml layer?
