[OpenLayers-Users] KML and Popup window problem

[Xin]

Hi,

I have a KML layer which I want to be able to click and see a pop up. I am
following the following examples, but it's not working for me.

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature.html
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature-openpopup.html

My map is projected. The init code is:

var options = {
        projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),
        displayProjection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
        units: "m",
        maxResolution: 156543.0339,
        maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508, -20037508,
                                         20037508, 20037508.34),
        restrictedExtent:  new OpenLayers.Bounds(-102731.36592167988,-
3815736.451414842,3869548.1192908203,-1311047.9090148422)
    };
    map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', options);

My KML is therefore also projected. The code:

kmlLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML", kmlFeedUrl,
      {
      projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
      format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
      formatOptions: {
        extractStyles: true,
        extractAttributes: true
        }
      });

   map.addLayer(kmlLayer);

This is all working so far, and I'm pretty happy about it. Thanks goes out
to Chris and the community.

My KML consist of points.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
  <Document>
    <Style id="marker">
      <IconStyle>
        <Icon>
          <href>http://localhost:3000/openlayers/img/marker-green.png</href>
        </Icon>
      </IconStyle>
    </Style>
    <Placemark id="13856">
      <name>place name</name>
      <description>NULL::character varying</description>
      <styleUrl>#marker</styleUrl>
      <Point>
      <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
      <coordinates>23.29555556,-17.98611111</coordinates>
    </Point>
    </Placemark>
    <Placemark id="13852">
      <name>place name 2</name>
      <description>NULL::character varying</description>
      <styleUrl>#marker</styleUrl>
      <Point>
      <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
      <coordinates>24.56638889,-17.54027778</coordinates>
    </Point>
    </Placemark>
  </Document>
</kml>

I would like the user to be able to click on these points, and see a popup
window consisting of name and description. After this KML layer is added, I
add a select control as suggested from Vector file popup examples.

selectControl = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature( kmlLayer,
                         {onSelect: onFeatureSelect, onUnselect:
onFeatureUnselect});

I also copied over onFeatureSelect and onFeatureUnselect.

When I click on a marker, nothing happens. Do I need to project
SelectFeature? Does SelectFeature work with Points from a KML file?

Sorry for the long post! Any help is much appreciated.

Xin
