Ok I'm back. Sorry for the delay in posting updates, I wanted to be sure the MIME file type setting was the problem.
I had my server load the MIME .kml file type setting, and so now I can see my .kml files from my server. I still am having a hell of a time with this thing though, primarily, getting the maps to work right in the Google Earth setting. These questions below shouldn't be really too hard for someone with experience to guide me with... hopefully. 1.) So, for the .kml file I have on my map set up here at http://www.iongeo.com/aram_test_dev/map4.html, the original kml file still would not load on my maps and I really don't know why. I did get it to show up in an unconventional way by: a. creating the .kml in google earth. b. importing the .kml file to "my maps" in google maps c. set the map to "view in google earth" where I would re-download it to my computer d. upload the linked kml file into my html page (located at www.iongeo.com/aram_test_dev/Polygon_Markers_Only_Test.kml) e. upload the html and .kml files to my server. As you can see, this is a huge pain in the ass to get done, might there be a reason why my kml original kml file (the large file sized .kml with actual code) did not load into my map??? For reference, it can be located here: www.iongeo.com/aram_test_dev/Polygon_markers_only_test_kml. 2.) Now, does anyone have an idea why my polygon doesn't show up in the google earth view listed above at www.iongeo.com/aram_test_dev/map4.html, but my place markers do? Many thanks to everyone who's offered me a little help. I really appreciate it.
