Alexandre, thanks for your thoughts. Although if I understand what you're saying and the example correctly, this will not make the markers to pop up with bubbles where I can put text.
I am currently placing markers with text on them where if you click on the marker a little bubble will appear. Here's another snippet that I forgot to include: var click = new OpenLayers.Control.Click(); map.addControl(click); click.activate(); var new2 = new OpenLayers.Layer.Text( 'Texts', { layerToUse: markers, newLat: '4188741.7304207', newLon: '217101.58694106', newTitle: "Title1", newDesc: "Desc1", idUser : '62', userName: 'admin', newIcon: 'images/markers/marker.png'} ); new2.parseData(); var new3 = new OpenLayers.Layer.Text( 'Texts', { layerToUse: markers, newLat: '4182021.7304207', newLon: '210801.58694106', newTitle: "Title2", newDesc: "Desc2", idUser : '62', userName: 'admin', newIcon: 'images/markers/marker-blue.png'} ); new3.parseData(); var new4 = new OpenLayers.Layer.Text( 'Texts', { layerToUse: markers, newLat: '4179441.7304207', newLon: '219681.58694106', newTitle: "Title3", newDesc: "Desc3", idUser : '62', userName: 'admin', newIcon: 'images/markers/marker.png'} ); new4.parseData(); I am not quite sure what that click function does, could it be the culprit? I have used this example as a base: http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/examples/markers.html The thing is I use a form also to create new bubbles where users can enter a title, marker icon and description and get a result similar to the above.
