[OpenLayers-Users] Find out about the geometrytype of a layer

[Alexandre Dube]

Barbara,

I'm not sure what's going on, but I see you're using OpenLayers 
compressed. Try switching to uncompressed version and set a breakpoint 
in Vector.js in the addFeatures method (I guess the error is there). Is 
the feature correctly set to MultiLineString before it's added ? Try to 
look in firebug if that's the case.

Regards,

Alexandre
