Hi
I have an openlayers OpenStreetMap displaying showing a college campus. I'm
trying to place markers over particular buildings so the user can click and
view additional information. I made a simple KML file, and following the
examples I get 3 simple clickable markers to display. Today I tried to edit
the KML file to store additional markers and I also tried to extend the
amount of information displayed for the existing marks
The HTML file and the KML file are on a web server. 
I updated the KML file, I did nothing to the HTML but the updates to the KML
file did not display.
Would anyone know why this might be? I've simplified the KML file down to
one place marker but it still shows the original 3 that I had working

Simplified KML file


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">
    <Document>
    <Placemark>
        <name>Western Gateway Building</name>
        <description>WGB</description>
        <Point>
            <coordinates>-8.499781,51.893349,0.000000</coordinates>
       </Point>
    </Placemark>
    </Document>
    </kml>

	</Point>
</Placemark>
</Document>
</kml>

I also tried displaying an image but decided to leave that out until I got
the basics displaying. (not certain it can display images)

Any help would be much appreciated
