Adding KML to vector layer from XML string

Question

I have a XML string on a server. I need to have Open Layers get that, read it, and display it. It is connected to Grails. I know it is getting it because I have it alert me with the string. I tried this solution: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/16629/how-to-add-kml-data-but-from-variable-not-from-url

but couldn't get it to display. I have no errors in my JS console.

Thank you!

You might want to check two things:

• yourLayer.features Does it contain something?
• If your layer contains features. Check that the yourLayer.style property is defined to a valid Style (meaning a Style instance that have renderers for the type of features). More on styling is OL here
