[OpenLayers-Users] How to insert that I digitized Feture in my WFS layer?

[Alexandre Dube]

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong :

The example uses the Save Strategy to do so.  When the user draws a 
feature, its state becomes "insert" or something like that.  When a 
already present features gets modified, its state becomes "update" or 
something like that.

And there's a button that, on click, triggers the save() function of the 
Save Strategy, check every features of the layer and generate a GML POST 
INSERT request for new features and GML POST UPDATE request for modifed 
features... 

Well, I'll stick with my first suggestion anyway, you should get this 
svn version on to your local platform and try it.  You'll be able to see 
step by step how it works.

Do you use firefox ?  If so, do you know firebug ?  As I already read 
from the list before, firebug is a great javascript teacher !

Best luck to you,

Alexandre
