Relevant Application(s):
Doesn't work in Google Maps but does work in Google Earth 4.1in Windows
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a KML file, include a HTML table with one of the fields as a text
hyperlink (i.e. don't include the <A HREF...> anchor tag) within a KML
description tag. Google Earth will convert the URL into a working hyperlink,
Google Map will not. According to documentation,
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kml_tut.html#descriptive_html
"Google Earth 4.0 has an auto-markup feature that automatically converts text
such as www.google.com into active hyperlinks that the user can cIick. Text
inside the <description> tag, the <Snippet> tag, and the <text> element of
<BalloonStyle> are all automatically transformed into standard HTTP hyperlinks.
You don't need to add the <a href= ...> tags yourself."

Workarounds:
Need to manually add an <A HREF...> anchor tag, cannot rely on the Auto-markup
feature.
