thank you so much for ur help alexander i am saving text successfully now but when i try to display it again through a browser it is nt displayed .i can view it through geoserver map preview but not through browser . i think the problem is tht openlayers associate its own style with the layer and not the default sld tht is associated with the feature type in geoserver (i-e capitals.sld).how can i give my layer custom sld ( the sld tht was associated with it in geoserver).??
