I have the following HTML-javascript code and i have problems reprojecting the
vector layer (WFS) from EPSG:27700 (British National Grid) to EPSG:900913
(googlemaps).
I managed to project the WMS layer but i have difficulties with the WFS.
With what i have read so far, to perform this reprojection you need "GeoJSON"
and "Proj4js".
There is no much documentation and examples using these 2 features.
One more thing to add is that using the existing WFS coding i managed to
project the "tasmanian" layers that already exist in Geoserver. But these are
on a different projecting system (EPSG:4326)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Code is the following:
<html>
<head>
<style>
html,body {
height: 99%;
width: 99%;
}
#map {
width: 80%;
height: 80%;
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
