All the XML parsing is performed by a Google server. The code in the client sends the URL to the server, the server reads the file and sends back a list of things for the client to display. (I sincerely hope that) Google servers can't read XML files that reside on a local PC unless you run a public webserver. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
