I am working on a project that uses openlayers to display a WFS layer(GeoJSON format), I have no problem reading the GeoJSON and display features, but I want to select a feature programmatically, for example, there is a table displaying all the features attributes, when I click a row from the table, I want to select or highlight a specific feature on the map using the ID(or other properties) in that row.

How can I do that?

Thanks

First, look up your feature:

myFeature=myVectorLayer.getFeaturesByAttribute("myAttribute","myValue")[0]

Then call .select(myFeature) on your selectControl.
