[OpenLayers-Dev] [OpenLayers-Users] EditingAttributes.js

[Burgholzer,Robert]

This Mapbuilder approach is akin to what I was envisioning, i.e.:
- return some XML for an editing form, transformed into HTML
- spit form submission results back to the object in question

Thanks,
r.b.

If you are about to get your hands dirty, you might want to look at the 
Mapbuilder WFS-T editor:
http://demo.communitymapbuilder.org/demo/mapbuilder/demo/wfs-t/index.htm
l

It works differently to OpenLayers in that it builds HTML widgets using 
XSL to build HTML from GML.

Of interest to you would be how the attributes are automatically updated

when a user enters data into a form element. (Have a look at the 
rendered HTML using Firebug).
