[OpenLayers-Users] Using Graphic markers for WFS layers

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi.

I am not sure about what's causing you trouble. But, have you tried this:

new OpenLayers.Style(OpenLayers.Util.applyDefaults(your_style_object,
OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style["default"]));

In this way you make sure you have all the required properties.
