[OpenLayers-Dev] Hover over point - Display name

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

I'm not sure what's wrong with what you're doing, but maybe a quick look 
at this example [1] might help. I would use 'highlightOnly': true only 
and register events instead of overwriting the native callback methods 
used when hovering.

Hope this helps,

Alexandre
