Hello Lance, I appreciate you took my message in consideration. First of all, congratulation for the great work you have done with GeoXml. Your program is performing very well with Firefox and I was happy with the result on my own page. Unfortunatly, it is not convincing with IE. json.js code is on my page and i've tried the right clicking you suggested. I can't say if the things improved or not, because after clicking, nothing but the information windows appears on the map ! So apparently the speed is improved looking at the time taken to fill in/out the checkboxes but no track was materialised on the map (?). It is obviously far from satisfactory. Moreover, the conversion is erratic and seems to have worked only once. Next tests were negatives (tracks visible but slow as before). Even so, the conversion process would prove to run satisfactorily, it is still not suitable to use it with IE if it cannot be directly loaded along with the page to avoid the lengthy loading process. And on the users side, I cannot conceive asking them to do a right click on the folder, according to their browser. This is not a "user friendly" approach. There is no point to put a nice page on a public website if it cannot be used by all the internet community. Saying that, I am thinking about the Nineveh Archives page you put on your site for example. As you say, this is a really very classy job, but I would add for all but IE users ! Here also, I have right click to create the kjson file (with a popup to be accepted before processing) but I do not noticed any speed improvement after that. Also texts of the menu do not appear with IE thus making the selection totally blind. So I presume this page is private and only intended to be used by non IE community ....... For the time being alas, I have to put my page temporarily asside and use a direct link to Google Maps instead. But I still want to implement maps with nice menu bar on my site, if there is a straight forward solution coming up to make it workable on all browsers. Is there any plan to improve speed of GeoXml with kml files in IE ? Michel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
