Generally that popup means the path to your kml is wrong in some fashion(could
be as
simple as a typo). Additionally if your kml has a network link in it that can
create
issues because it will try to reference something outside the local context and
not work. Using a simple relative path is recommended.
what os and browser are you using?, my guess is IE of some flavor (I am
currently finding
chrome doesnt want to load local files but FF and IE has no problems on my own
system
which I am debugging currently)
The end target is "on the web" rather than sitting on ones local system...
which doesnt
mean it shouldnt work locally.

There is likely to always be limits when running in the local context you will
without a doubt want to get a web site for posting and testing on. And for the
case
of network links which may come from other domains you will find yourself
needing a
proxy script similar to on the wiki here.

I have put the test.kml in the same folder as the index.htm and then Using this
line
to get the kml
gml = new GeoXml("gml", mmap, 'test.kml', {sidebarid:"the_side_bar",iwwidth:250
});
I am using Vista IE8.0 and Chrome 4.0.249.89 I get the same results
kml is parsed by google earth but not by this I have also tried mtrmtrip.kml
from
your web site which works.
Do I need to anything speshal to the kml?

Remember what I said about a network link in the kml?
To do things like a mymaps kml you can either open up find the kml and download
a
permanent copy of the actual data... or have it in a web context with proxy.

We are not allowed to run proxies at school as we were using them to get on to
facebook.:) I have written a script that get the KML file every 1min and copies
it to
the local PC for onward displaying via web site. will this work the same?

as long as the actual content is local it ought to work.

Hi, Firstly Many thanks for all your help Lance. I also found if the KML had
google
earth extension of the OGC KML 2.2 standard e.g <gx:balloonVisibility> then
this would
not parse but thoughts error "Document not found".

gx:baloonVisibility ... that shouldnt be a true "Document not found"... but it
might
indeed be an xml parsing error... could you provide a sample data that shows
that
problem and what browser are you using?

I also had the same issue, spent 40hrs looking for a solution. I tried to test
on my local environment but the issue was that my local IIS web server did not
know how to render the .KML file extension. Once I added the .KML file
extension to the MIME types
(http://www.john.geek.nz/2009/07/serving-google-kml-and-kmz-files-from-iis/)in
the IIS server, Boom bingo my kml showed up.
If u use Apache server in your local environment you problably will have to add
the .kml file extension.
