Hello. Just wanted to say thanks ahead of time to everyone that posts answers on these threads (esp Mike Williams). I've learned a TON recently.
Anyhow, I'm very new to websites and coding (social scientist by trade), so I could be missing something basic.. I've created several google maps reading from xml files now, and they all seem to work pretty well on IE7 (and even better on Firefox). However, my latest is causing a major headache. The page is: http://www.terevaka.net/dc/databases/rosendahl_1994/Lapakahi.html My problems are: 1) Load time: Load time in Firefox is about 3-10 seconds on my machine. Load time in IE7 or IE8 is about 60 seconds! Other maps of mine have had differences but nothing as drastic as this. One other source has told me that load time for his machine on the same page in IE7/8 is much better than on mine, but still doesnt compete with Firefox. 2) Sometimes in Firefox I have to refresh a few times before I get a 'clean' load. By that i mean other times the map and data loads, but the browser continues to process indefinitely (making the map unusable). 3) In IE8 clicking on lines produces no infowindow pop-ups. --I've tried to read as much as possible before posting. I don't think it has to do with IE loading images for markers, because the custom marker images are the first thing to load, and if i strip the xml file down to just points (as opposed to points and lines), it's a pretty quick load in FF or IE. --I don't think it has to do with each line storing mouseover and mouseout functions because i tried commenting those out, and the IE load time is still around 50-60 seconds. So, it must have something to do with the lines i'm loading...? Too much for IE? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
