[OpenLayers-Users] Unable to get displayProjection working

[George Mu'ammar]

Hi CJ good to hear from you.
The last time I faced this issue I also got the impression I was doing  
something wrong. Simply put I got what I wanted, ie the coordinates in  
EPSG 4326. But I had not included the Proj4s! I was baffled but stuck  
to it because it was what I wanted anyway.
Therefore I would suggest that your Proj4s is not properly included in  
your js script or something to that effect.
All the best.
