[OpenLayers-Users] Showing labels in a KML Vector Layer with extractStyles: true

[Chris Wj]

Hello all. I am having an issue getting a Layer to show labels on the map
along with having it extract styles from a KML file. It shows labels when I
set extractStyles to false, but does not when I set it to true. Is there a
way to show the labels when extractStyles is set to true? Can I enable the
labels after the KML file is loaded? Would this entail something like
modifying the style after the fact?

Example snippit:

var kmlStyleMap = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({'default':{
                        label : "${name}",
                        fontColor: "#000000",
                        fontSize: "11px",
                        labelAlign: "center",
                        pointRadius: 2,
                        labelXOffset : 0,
                        labelYOffset : 0,
                        labelSelect: true
                    }});

var kmlFormat = new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
                    internalProjection: sphericalMercatorProj,
                    externalProjection: mapProj,
                    extractStyles: true,
                    extractAttributes: true,
                    maxDepth: 2
        });

var ellipseKMLLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML",
            {
                projection: latLonProj,
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
                protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                    url: kmlHref,
                    format: kmlFormat
                }),
                styleMap: kmlStyleMap,
                eventListeners: { 'loadend': kmlLoaded },
                renderers: renderer
            });
