[OpenLayers-Users] kml file not showing markers

Tue Dec 2 11:13:54 EST 2008

I am new to openlayers, trying to display a .kml file that works fine in
google earth on an openlayers web page.  The code is shown below.  The
map itself comes up fine but not showing any of the markers, there is no
error message.

The code is a copy of one of the example web pages but with my own .kml
added. 

Thanks for any suggestions, Mike.
