Hi Lars,Steve
Thanks for your suggestions.
I am now able to see the Label but not not at the base scale at which the
page loads for the first time.
I am able to see a few at the next zoomin level, followed by next set of
labels at a still higher zoomin level and so on.
What are the label attributes that make this happen?
What shud I do if I need to see all of the Labels at at single scale i.e
zoomin level.
Thanks a lot for your support.
