[OpenLayers-Users] Re: Write text on a map

[gbrun]

Thanks! That's just what I have done! It works great! But I didn't use the  
attributes property: I don't need to save the label text in a database. I  
store the written text directly inside the 'label' property. It's also  
useful to add a 'labelSelect' property with 'true' to drag the text once  
written. It could be interesting to create an OpenLayers example about  
this. It is a very simple tip, but quite useful.

PS: it works also with GeoExt and a FormPanel to write the text.
