I'm working with Openlayers and overlaying a geojson file representing species type over OSM. I have an HTML form that allows users to select a species type and I then need to filter the geojson layer based on the selection. I then want the map to redraw, displaying only the filtered features.

I've tried CQL and messed around with styling but I'm not getting very far. Does anyone have any experience of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

The OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON read operation takes in a filter function see documentation

OR

You could do something like this:

if (html.checked == true) {
    feature.style.display = "block";
} else {
    feature.style.display = "none";
}

    @Vadim : LOL. It's only the profile of its head (ear and trunk) and the trunk is pointed at the cat. It's a work of art. And yes these animals are to scale. ;)

    thanks for your help @CaptDragon, really appreciate it. I'll give it a try. I presume you aren't from West Africa? High crocodile mortality rates....
