[OpenLayers-Users] Help with get feature info

[Ali Khan]

Thanks for the correction. on the markers.event..I'm still having 
trouble understanding how to get a feature. I tried learning from the 
CIA Factbook. From what i've read the vmap 0 has political boundires and 
some global data. I tried to make it work but when i click on an area i 
simply get the 'Loading ...' line. Below is a link to it. All i'm trying 
to do at this point is get the country name.
