[OpenLayers-Users] Re: Feature attribute editing/updating

[Jean-François Gigand]

Hi Eoin,

If I understand well, the feature.attributes are successfully updated,
but when you call save() on the Save strategy, they are not saved?

Make sure you update the "state" property:
feature.state = OpenLayers.State.UPDATE;

If it still doesn't work, how do you call save?
If you have multiple layers, do you call save on each of these layer's
Save strategy?
Does the HTTP request being made, or not at all? What protocol do you use, WFS?
