[OpenLayers-Users] marker label?

[Deli Soetiawan]

So there's no another way to add "real" label to the marker? my application
required that user can see point(marker) name without need to mouseover or
click on it, i even discard such functionality, the reason was the
application was intended for use in mobile device that have input limitation
(Ajax works though).

For my application need, popup (both on click or hover) was useless, how can
we hover/click a marker when we don't have stylus or atleast virtual cursor?
think we were using a cellphone with only 0-9,#,* and navigational key
there.

For that reason why i need some tricks to put label marker on map, Ka-Map
offer this feature in their xml overlay functionality so maybe in future
version OpenLayers can add this feature.

Okay i must admit that "maybe" initially OL was created to mimic Google Maps
on their interface (GMap also has marker without label so we must
hover/click on it) but additional feature would be nice (like they have done
with current OL).

PS: feel sorry if i can't describe my needs very well on my previous post
