Hi,
I am trying to read a KML file from a URL, instead of a local file. Below
is my code for initializing the vector layer. But it does not work.
(Reading from the local file worked fine)
vector_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
url: "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/";,
params:{'format':'kml','tags':'bird'},
format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
extractStyles: true,
extractAttributes: true,
maxDepth: 2
})
})
});
Thanks,
Nipuni
