CSGeoXML can load KML files locally as a single overlay

pman permalink

i’ve got some questions:

-is the “csgeoxml” working with firefox on macosx or am i probably doing something wrong? (have a look at the website: http://homepage.mac.com/pman88/maps )

-how can i remove the layer again?
only: map.removeOverlay(csGeoXml); doesn’t work with me.

When I try to load local KML with Internet Explorer I received a “Permission Denied”.
This is my code:

var options = {noshadow: true};
var pippo = new CsGeoXml(‘csGeoXml’, map, ‘file:///c:/abc.kml’, options);
var handle = GEvent.addListener(pippo, ‘parsed’, function () {GEvent.removeListener(handle); map.addOverlay(pippo);});

Can you help me? Thanks

I have not seen this error before. How does IE deliver this message to you? Is it a pop up or in he error console? Also, what version of IE are you using?

Sorry, I should have included that before. I’ve been using Google chrome and Firefox with firebug. I believe it is trying to compile the csgeoxml.js file and it throws some sort of an error on that line(79). The console doesn’t say what the error is, it just points at the line.

I’m running a rails application running on localhost. My code is included below.
var options = {noshadow: true}; //many options available
var csGeoXml = new CsGeoXml(‘csGeoXml’, map, ‘http://localhost:3000/flights.kml’, options);
var handle = GEvent.addListener(csGeoXml, ‘parsed’, function () {
GEvent.removeListener(handle);
map.addOverlay(csGeoXml);
});

When I use my code (see my first post) I see a new window with this data:

Line: 486
Char: 109
Error: Permission denied
Code: 0
URL: http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/it_ALL/mapfiles/184a/maps2.api/main.js

I use API v2 and IE7/8 (Windows XP/Vista) with the same error.

Besides I think I have found a bug on line 210 of CSGeoXML, I have replace this line “CsGeoXml.prototype.createPolygon = function() {” with this “CsGeoXml.prototype.createPolygon = function(data) {“.

Can you help me with my “Permission denied” error?
