The 1st thing you need when developing against any OWS (WMS,WFS,WMC,CWS,etc..) 
is a way to actually see the message to & response from the server. You can use 
Fiddler (PC Only) or Firebug (Firefox) or (to a much more limited degree) 
WebKit Developer Tools.

Without tools like this, you are really just shooting in the dark.

Assuming that all the code below is correct and you are using Geoserver, then 
you MUST get the featureNS value.
It is pretty easy, just logon to Geoserver and look at the layer list. We'll 
take the tiger:poi layer as an example.
On the Layers list you see Type, Workspace, Store, & Layer Name columns. The 
ones you are interested in are Workspace and Layer Name columns. For the 
tiger:poi example you can either use:
featureType:'tiger:poi', (that is the layer name with the namespace)
featureNS:'http://www.census.gov' (that is the Workspace URI)

-- OR --

featureType:'poi' (that is the layer name, without the namespace)
featureNS:'tiger' (that is the namespace, which is the same as the Workspace)

the first example is really the 'correct' way, but the second way works as well.

Hope that helps

NOTE: If you are using other servers, like Mapserver, then using namespaces can 
sometimes cause issues.

Subject: [Users] Question about FormPanel


Hello List,




I am trying to do search function following example in this site 
http://ian01.geog.psu.edu/geoserver/www/search/gazetteer.html 




I wrote almost same the above example given, I change only in my data what I 
istalled in Geoserver 




 var protocol= OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
        url: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs";,
        featureType: "municipaliteis",
        //featureNS: "http://geovista.psu.edu"; I dont know how to fix this line
    });

    formPanel = new GeoExt.form.FormPanel({
        title: "Place Name Search",
        height: 150,
        region: "north",
        protocol: protocol,
        items: [{
            xtype: "textfield",
            width: 200,
            name: "name__like",
            minLength: 4
        },
                xtype: "textfield",
            width: 200,
            name: "population__ge"
                ],
        listeners: {
            actioncomplete: function(form, action) {
                features = action.response.features;
                store.loadData(features);
                vm=map.getLayersByName("Results");
                if(vm.length===0){
                    vecLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Results");
                    map.addLayer(vecLayer);
                    store.bind(vecLayer);
                    select.bind(vecLayer);
                }
            }
        },
        buttons: [{text: 'search',
            handler: function(){
                formPanel.search();
            }
        }],
        keys: [{ key: [Ext.EventObject.ENTER], 
            handler: function() {
                formPanel.search();
            }
        }]
    });

I tried for all most one week to fix it, but it still not working... When I 
click to command button "search" it did not show any thing. If some one have 
experience about this work please write me a command.

Thank in advance 

Quang
