[OpenLayers-Users] Setting attributes of a Feature.Vector

[Andy Dale]

Hi,

Doing it the way you said (directly underneath the feature creation) does
work, but i want to move the feature attributes extraction to a separate
function like so:

function extractDetails() {
            var feats = polygonLayer.features; // This is the Layer.Vector
            for(item in feats) {
                atts = item.attributes;

                // do stuff depending on attributes
            }
}

the problem is that atts never has any properties (you can never call
atts.<anything>), is the above approach completely wrong ??

Thanks,

Andy
