[OpenLayers-Users] getting name placemark from a kml-file

[The_Zebra]

hallo,

i want to display on map some icons, written in a kml file. i do this with
the following statement:

  markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML", "unit.kml",
               {format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
                formatOptions: {
                  extractStyles: true,
                  extractAttributes: true,}
               });
   map.addLayer(markers);

this runs great, but now my problem: in the kml file is also the name of the
icon i am displaying:

 <Placemark>
         <name>Tractor1</name>
         <visibility>1</visibility>
         <open>0</open>
         <styleUrl>#SmallTractor</styleUrl>
         <Point>
            <coordinates>4.486325, 50.90313777777778</coordinates>
         </Point>
 </Placemark>

i want to open/show a label or popup by clicking on the icon in the map.
this label should show the name which is written in the kml file, in this
case the "Tractor1".

How can i realise that? Please Help

Thanks!
