[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers Events - click

[EGoss]

Hello all,

I saw an email last week concerning a new user that moved from the Google Maps 
API to OpenLayers. I have also used Google, and I was able return info from a 
kml file to an info box. However, I am terribly lost trying to do this using 
OpenLayers. Does anyone have advice on how to extract the <name> and/or 
<description> from a kml file to an alert box?

var kmlLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML", "KML/kml1.kml",
                {
                 format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
                 projection: map.displayProjection,
                 formatOptions: {
                   extractStyles: true,
                   extractAttributes: true
                }
                });

                map.addLayer(kmlLayer);



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2";>
  <Placemark>
               <name>placemark</name>
               <description>Location X</description>
               <Point>
                 <coordinates>-74,43,0</coordinates>
               </Point>
  </Placemark>
</kml>

Thanks again,
Ed
