OpenLayers.Handler.Feature Issue not catching mouse events

[ChiefDan]

In a previous map which did not use MapFish, I used a GML layer to enable mouse overs of areas on my map that were generated from MapServer. Basically I wanted to change the mouse pointer to let the user know they were over the item.
I can't seem to get the same thing working in MapFish, I am wondering if the mouse events are getting intercepted somewhere along the way. I'd appreciate any thoughts or pointers.

Here is a code snippet:
      var myStyles = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
                                                "default": new OpenLayers.Style({
                                                pointRadius: 4,
                                                fillColor: "#000000",
                                                strokeColor: "#000000",
                                                fillOpacity: 0.0
                                                })
                                            });

      var PlatformGML = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("RCOOS Platforms",
                                                  "data/platformGML.xml",
                                                  {
                                                    projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),
                                                    styleMap: myStyles,
                                                    displayInLayerSwitcher: false,
                                                    GROUP : 'InSitu'                                              
                                                  });  
                                               
      var platformMouseOverCallbacks =
      {
        "over": function(feature)
        {
          //Only change the cursor if the layer is visible.
          if( HTMLObs.getVisibility() )
          {
            document.getElementById("map").style.cursor="pointer";
          }
            //log("over " + feature.id);
        },
        "out": function(feature)
        {
          document.getElementById("map").style.cursor="default";
          //log("out " + feature.id);
        }
      };
     
      var mouseOverPlatformHandler = new OpenLayers.Handler.Feature
      (
        {
          map: map
        },
        PlatformGML,
        platformMouseOverCallbacks
      );
      mouseOverPlatformHandler.activate();

I've never encountered such issues. It'd be great if you could provide
a small example showing the problem.

PS: sorry for the delayed response, currently catching up on emails.

Eric,
