[OpenLayers-Users] WFS-T

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

  Just before your commit, you need to copy the your field values to the 
feature's attributes.  They will then be part of the 'insert' request 
sent to your server.  See an example (demo) of what I'm talking about 
[1].  It uses TinyOWS, but it should be similar to what you're seeking 
to do.

  Hope this helps,

Alexandre
