[OpenLayers-Users] Layers are not being drawn - proxy issue?

[J. Brian Adams]

Yes - I have just realized this. Sorry.

It appears that the gml file is being drawn, but instead of at the  
location it should (south central Pennsylvania in the US) it is  
showing in Central Africa.

I created the gml file as an export of a GRASS vector file that I have  
been using.  I suspect that the problem may be that the GRASS file was  
projected in a PA State Plane instead of Lon-Lat. I suspect that this  
might have created a GML with bad coordinates. Or perhaps no bounding  
box?

I will re-export the file in Lon-Lat and see if that doesn't fix the  
problem.  Of if you have seen this before, is there something else for  
which I should be looking?
