I am trying to add kml to openlayers and i am getting error in firebug 

  a is undefined: Line 92 openlayers.js

here is my code : 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<title>OpenLayers Basic Single WMS Example</title>

<script src="OpenLayers-2.12/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var map, layer;
    function init(){
        map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map' );
        layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
            "http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0",
            {layers: 'basic'} );

        var kml =  new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
            strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
            protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                url: "data/carmax.anand.kml",
                format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
                    extractStyles: true, 
                    extractAttributes: true
                })
            })
        });
        map.addLayer(layer);
        map.addLayer(kml);
        map.zoomToMaxExtent();
    }

I would go debugging into the line in your javascript that causes the error - try firebug or similar. I don't think its the cause of the error, but mind the invalid comma after extractAttributes: true. – Chau Jan 4 at 9:06
Use <script src="OpenLayers-2.12/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>, this show which is the failing component. – xamamano -jorix- Jan 4 at 9:08
@ chau : thank you for pointing invalid comma and yes I am using firebug, which is only giving me this scripting error. @jorix : I used lib/openlayers.js and got this error : node is undefined : Line 625 – anand Jan 4 at 9:33
@anand In which js file? – xamamano -jorix- Jan 4 at 10:34
Is a error on lib/OpenLayers/Renderer/Elements.js, It can be an impropriety in the kml response, you can show a kml response from your server? – xamamano -jorix- Jan 4 at 10:49

Your code is correct, I've tried to read examples/kml/sundials.kml and no error. Can be a problem is the xml response.

NOTE: Remove the comma after extractAttributes: true, this causes problems with IE.

Use http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/lib/OpenLayers.js to see a more specific error.

You have wrongly defined height and width of your map div. Change it to the following:

<div id="map" class="smallmap" style="height:512px; width:512px"></div>

This should work for the wms layer, you have added.

As answered by xamamano, I have also tried with the local KML file. It is working. So there may be error in your kml file. You can check it through importing your KMl into Google Earth. – thelastray Jan 4 at 10:42
I can open my kml with Google earth without any problem. – anand Jan 4 at 12:26
