[OpenLayers-Users] User inputs in Popups

[Arnd Wippermann]

it's possible to use popups for editing feature attributes.

If your transcation takes place after you have updated the attributes, i
would think the transaction should work.

Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for the reply. I am referring to the html text box inside the popup.
Thats where I want to enter the data.
I also included a button in the popup to initiate the transaction. This
works fine when I hard code the attribute information.

I did try the method you suggested. Maybe because the html text box is not
directly in the web page(but rather in the popup) I didnt have much success.
However I will try this again. Maybe I missed something.

If there is any other way of achieving this (maybe with ajax) kindly let me
know.

Regards,
Indika

Hi Indika, 


  >> The problem is I am unable to access the input data.


  Do you mean you can't access the html text box ?  If you do, give it and
id, access it with document.getElementById('yourId') and parse the text box
value to the feature.attributes before saving.  That will add the attribute
to your INSERT/UPDATE request at the same time.  I'm not sure if that's what
you meant, though. 


  >>Also everytime the wfs-insert takes place i get an alert with the
transaction results details.
Is there anyway not have the alert come up everytime.


  Search in your files for the "alert" string and just get rid of it.

Hope this helps,

Alexandre

Hello to all,
I have a wfs layer setup which allows me to add points.
I would like the user to enter the attribute information so that it too can
get
written to postgres.

I setup a popup with a text box which allows me to add the relevant details.
The problem is I am unable to access the input data.

Is there any way to get around this, or this is an alternative method I
could approach.

Also everytime the wfs-insert takes place i get an alert with the
transaction results details.
Is there anyway not have the alert come up everytime.

Thanks

Indika
