[Community] [134f-gr] Released Polymaps and OpenLayers hover and click examples

[Roy Hyunjin Han]

Here are two demos on making your maps more interactive.


* Polymaps hover and click demo
http://georegistry.org/examples/polymaps
- Fast and beautiful but will not work in Internet Explorer
- Thanks to Mike Bostock for hints on SVG interactivity


* OpenLayers hover and click demo
http://georegistry.org/examples/openlayers
- Slower but functional
- Thanks to Andy Doro for feature styling


Here is an older application that also uses mouse hover and click
events in OpenLayers.

Hi,

Thanx for sharing those links. I don't know if it's just for me or if
there have been changes on your server, but tue OpenLayers version is
much faster than the polymaps one (I'm with FF 3.5).

Cheers,

Yves

Thanks for the feedback, Yves. I'm not sure why this would be so. I
do know that Polymaps seems to be pretty computationally intensive on
the client browser, especially in FireFox.

I had to take down the site because I gave the domain to a coworker,
but the code is still on GitHub:
