[OpenLayers-Users] TextLayer with Framecloud popup

[Carl Morgan]

I'm attempting to get my points to plot based on the example Christopher 
referenced (http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials.html). Although 
it appears to plot ok initially, if I pan up and down on the map, the 
points will move up or down as well. Is this a problem in the javascript 
or could the problem be in the kml file? I've included the code below 
hoping someone might see the problem, and here's a link to the page: 
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ilm/viewer/plotLSR.html?lat=34.20&lon=-78.8&zoom=8&kmlfile=lsr080626.kml

Thanks,

            var gmap = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google(
                "Google Streets" // the default
            );

//            var ghyb = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google(
