[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with a WFS request

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi,

is there any prefix used in your GML, again Mapserver defaults to ms:, so
in that case you need to add:

featureType: "aster_gdem",
featureNS: "http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver",
featurePrefix: "ms"

Best regards,
Bart
