During tile loading, the "style.display" property is set to "none" or the "style.visibility" property is set to "hidden. I do not remember which. It is to prevent the "broken link" icon from appearing. It also suppresses pregressive rendering. If the "onload" event handler fires, the corresponding property is cleared. If the "onerror" event handler fires, an error message appears. I believe Google is retrying failed tiles at least once following a fair amount of criticism for poor reliability. Internet Explorer does things differently. Progressive rendering can be seen. It may be related to the use of "alphaImageLoader". Which means, changing the blank tile image will have no impact. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
