title: Display placemark name in openstreetmap from an external KML file using Openlayers
body: <p>I am trying to load a KML file of a particular state and display the counties with its name .I am using the following code .</p>
  
  <pre><code> map = new OpenLayers.Map({
              div: "map_canvas",
              allOverlays: true
          });
  
          var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM();
          var styleMap = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({'default':{
              label : "${name}"
  
          }});
          var sundials = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
              projection: map.displayProjection,
              strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
              protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                  url: "Minnesota.kml",
                  format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
                    //  extractStyles: true,
                      extractAttributes: true
                     // kvpAttributes: false
                  }),
                  styleMap: styleMap
  
              })
          });
  
  
  
          map.addLayers([osm,sundials]);
  
          map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
  
          map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(0, 0), 3);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the KML file is shown properly but the county names are not shown.(resulting image is attached)!</p>
