[OpenLayers-Users] Example of creating a POI with attributes

[Mike Adair]

I did a EditFeatureAttributes control a few months ago that first did a 
WFS DescribeFeatureType query to determine the attributes for a feature 
type and then created a form with inputs for each attribute.  It 
registered with featureAdded and featureSelected events on the WFS layer 
to open and populate the form.  Clicking on a 'save' button then 
triggered a Save strategy to do a WFS transaction to the DB.  I seem to 
recall that it needed some extra information about attribute types, 
primary keys, etc. but it was mostly driven from the DescribeFeatureType 
response.

I don't think there is an example online anywhere yet but I could 
probably put the code somewhere if you were interested.
