      <br>
        If you look at OpenLayers/Feature/Vector.js, you'll see the
      "attributes" property :<br>
        
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Feature/Vector-js.html#OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.attributes">http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Feature/Vector-js.html#OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.attributes</a><br>
      <br>
        It is where the attribute properties describing a feature are
      kept.  Using Firebug/Any browser dev tool, you can inspect your
      layer feature object, using layer.features[0].attributes.<br>
      <br>
        So, after drawing your feature you could open a popup and
      display a form containing the fields you want to have as your
      feature attributes.  Once done, for each field you would do :<br>
         feature.attribute['myfieldname'] = field.value.<br>
      <br>
        That's basically what the [example] does.  If you look at the
      [source] code, search for
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
        charset=ISO-8859-1">
      parseFeatureAttributesToForm and
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
        charset=ISO-8859-1">
      parseFormAttributesToFeature methods.  This is pretty old stuff,
      but you should be able to understand it.<br>
      <br>
        Let us know if you need more help.  It'd be nice to have a small
      live demo of your application so that we could see what you're
      trying to do.<br>
