[OpenLayers-Users] Loading kml data into OL

[Phil Scadden]

I open KMLs like this:

                             layer[i] = new 
OpenLayers.Layer.GML(lay.name, lay.serverUrl, {
                                 format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
                                 projection: new 
OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:4326'),
                                 isBaseLayer: false,
                                 formatOptions: {
                                     extractStyles: true,
                                     extractAttributes: true
                                 }
                             })

The "lay" is an object read from JSON file.
The serverURL is the path to kml file, relative to the main file; OR a 
full http: path which needs to be accessible by proxy as XHR is used to 
load it. The configuration works for me whether my main file sits on 
server, or whether its entirely local (though Chrome then wont work).

Server layout is something like
     webapps
                 myapp    (main html/jsp/php lives here)
                             data
                                        kmls
                                                         (kmls live here)
