They can also turn off there images or their javascript and you can disable the native support in IE7.. how about a pop up test to tell the user to get a better browser whenever document.all is defined. IE6 is the worst case scenario.. .its javascript engine is very slow (10 x slower than others on the same machine) and like all the ie xml parsers it doesnt trust the xmls charset.. but thinks the web server ought to do the mimetype for it which is technically following specs but not at all practical.

I have given up coding for IE6 (not really... but wish I could) on the other hand a user can also mangle other browsers. Even though there is a method to download the xml with activex disabled.( iframe ajax).. parsing it becomes another issue.. ...and there are some pure javascript xml parsers out there. Question becomes how far out of your way do you really want to go. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
