Okay, so in real life I work as a project manager running a data reconciliation effort for National Marine Fisheries, but have decided that I needed to go to grad school...so...putting in my licks on GIS.   

This course I am in now is a web mapping course using geoserver and overlaying shapefiles on top of a Open Street map but in a webpage.

The issue is that I have 4 toggle-able layers built in html, but for some reason they are killing my page somehow.  I need a set of eyes to see if they can catch what I screwed up!

If anyone thinks that they want to help me please feel free! I put up my html file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B99xI23kLbjEczNSN3VsRzE1eUU

The file runs off of geoserver on a virtual machine so the data and resources will not be active, but the issue is something about the visibility of the layers in the code....

Thank you in advance!

I am assuming you have too many data points and need to somehow filter them down. Sometimes this causes dynamic maps to have issues loading.

unfortunately it was bad advice from the professor and open layers was trying to force a style that was not appropriate. Got an a on the project!

next up python!
