[ka-Map-users] xmlOverlay Issues

Fri Jul 28 05:37:30 EDT 2006

Another hint:

what's the <!DOCTYPE of definition of your HTML page?
If you don't have a DOCTYPE definition on top of your page, or you
have an XHTML page, IE can have some problem.

I suggest a test with:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

> 1) New overlay issue... I am working on a Mac and using Firefox as my browser. I can see symbol bullets fine on this setup, they show up perfect, but I just looked at my maps on Internet Explorer on a PC and I don't see the symbols, only the labels. So instead of having a bunch of dots, I just have the label text, which is hard to read among the other map data. Other's have confirmed not seeing any symbols, just the labels, so I don't think it's my PC setup. Any suggestions?

>    <icon src="/images/dot.gif" h="19" w="19" />

> It looks like this at all zoom levels. I was told to change xmlOverlayUseCanvas = false, but can't find that variable. Any other suggestions will be great too.
