On the examples on your web site this module opens up a google earth view. However I do not get any of that. All I get is the option to save the file. Thats not what I want. Any Ideas?

What browser are you using? When you download the file, you should usually get an option to choose which program to use to open the file. With the examples on my site, do they open directly in Google Earth as expected, and ones from your site don't?

Latest Firefox, and yes it asks me where I want I want to open it up with... anyways, I ended up going the gmap way, and am happy. Thank you so much for your time, and I will continue to help you. On your example pages, they display the map.

Thanks

I would imagine this is simply a browser/application issue and nothing to do with the KML.module.

It should be closed accordingly.

If it doesnt work in the firefox 2 version serious, then isn't that a big deal?

Unless your browser is set to automatically open the file in a certain application (which is an option the first time you download a kml file in most browsers), the best behavior should be to ask... otherwise browsers would be opening and executing all sorts of nasty things without our consent.

sounds like tmcw has the answer, however that is one ugly icon which makes no sense to me.
