thank you so much for ur help alexander i am saving text successfully now but when i try to display it again through a browser it is nt displayed .i can view it through geoserver map preview but not through browser . i think the problem is tht openlayers associate its own style with the layer and not the default sld tht is associated with the feature type in geoserver (i-e capitals.sld).how can i give my layer custom sld ( the sld tht was associated with it in geoserver).?? <br>

Alauddin,<br>
<br>
Please, reply to the list as many other might be able to help you.<br>
<br>
Please, take a look at the following example [1]. In it, you have a vector layer configured to a WFS-T server to allow transactions. OpenLayers is responsible of generating the transaction by AJAX on commit. Look at the code of the example for more.<br>
<br>
If it can help, I also made a WFS-T little demo a year ago. The OpenLayers version is outdated, but it might help too [2]. It uses TinyOWS as the WFS-T server (instead of GeoServer) though.<br>
<br>
Hope it helps,<br>

sorry i am new to mapping and this openlayers geoserver thing so i could not pick up wht u r saying what i really want is to let user write nething i-e label comment joke etc etc on the map displayed nd then save it, add it to database and latter on same text as displayed as a wfs layer . i mean map is displayed as wms layer then we hav 3 layers for point line and polygon giving user capability to draw line polygon or point and save it now i want to add another layer named as text layer which enables to write on the map ne comments note or label etc which is u kno then saved can i do this with open layers ? Mr imran rajjad from geoserver list suggested me below four point strategy which i could not follow up completly his suggestion was<br>
<br>
1-create a shape file with point geometry and upload it on geoserver,make sure you keep a field in the attributes for your label.<br>
2-write a function that takes X,Y of click and the text you wish to display<br>
3-insert that point where you clicked on map along with the text into the shape file 4-create an SLD for this shape file in which you add text symbolizer and set it to display the field containing you label.<br>
but i got stuck at point 3 .dont know how to move things forward. please help thanks<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Take a look at this example [1]. Labels are added to features as<br>
symbolizer properties, so you could set one of the feature's<br>
attribute as a value for your label by using ${name} (see the same<br>
example).<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
