Not showing multiple markers on OpenLayers

Question

I want to show multiple markers on my Google map with OpenLayers. Below is my code :

for (var pointcount = 0; pointcount < jsonObj.length; pointcount++) {

if (jsonObj[pointcount].Long != null && jsonObj[pointcount].Lat != null) {

    var markerslonLat = new OpenLayers.LonLat(jsonObj[pointcount].Long, jsonObj[pointcount].Lat).transform(WGS84, map.getProjectionObject(), 0);
    map.panTo(markerslonLat);

    markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(markerslonLat, icon));

    alert('  marker added. Long : ' + jsonObj[pointcount].Long + '    ||    lat : ' + jsonObj[pointcount].Lat);
}

But, it shows only last one. what i missed in code. Any help would be appreciated. :) Thanks.

I have a feeling that your icon is being reused and that is why it appears that only the last point is showing up, it is the only one with an icon. After the icon is used once, you need to clone your icon.

http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Marker-js.html

so you should have something like this:

if(pointcount == 0){
    markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(markerslonLat, icon));
}
else{
    //Makes another icon to use by cloning.
    markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(markerslonLat, icon.clone()));
}
