Parsing KML feeds with different options?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is is possible to include 2 (or more) different KML feeds, each with 
different options? For example, would it be possible for one feed to show up 
in the sidebar with all folders open, another with all folders closed?

I cannot figure out a way to parse the feeds separately, giving each its own 
set of options.

Thanks.

You can make two separate GeoXml instances two vars.

• Added labels: Type-Other
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

Then I would make 2 separate parsing commands as well?

e.g.:

 exml.parse("My KML");
 exml2.parse("My KML");

yes .. if you want it do its stuff... you have to tell it to.
you could also reuse the same sidebar or not on the second

Makes sense, I think I understand what you mean. Is it also possible to create 
a 
function to toggle these KML feeds on an off, similar to this:

    function toggleMyKml() {
  if (toggleState == 1) {
    mmap.removeOverlay(kmloverlay);
    toggleState = 0;
  } else {
    mmap.addOverlay(kmloverlay);
    toggleState = 1;
  }
}

if you want them to refresh information that takes 
clear and parse

Thanks, I got that part working.

I have question about the "markerfollowlinks" option. If I set it to 
markerfollowlinks:true, I can no longer click on the placemarks...nothing 
happens if 
I try.

What I am trying to do is set the links in my infowindow up to open in the same 
browser window, NOT the same iframe window, which is the way I have my map put 
into 
my site now. Any suggestions? Can I do this? Are there more options than "true" 
or 
"false" for markerfollowlinks?

if you have a link in the description clicking on the marker is then a go to 
the 
location... if there isnt any.. it doesnt go... could be an error show me?

target="_top" or something like that in your html

Dear Lance,

Could you offer any additional information regarding the use of the 
"sidebarsnippet" 
option? I have tried including "sidebarsnippet:true" into my code and got no 
result 
whatsoever. I have a feeling there's something else I need to do but I don't 
know 
what. You mention controlling the sidebarsnippet with css...does that mean it 
must go 
into a div tag somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

You might want to include snippets in your kml... 
there is actually a Snippet tag...

And emulate this page....
