[OpenLayers-Users] register "loadend" for kml layer doesn't work with IE6

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi Eric, Chris

The page works fine for IE and FF. Only that with IE6 the loadend not works.
I get no error. IE6 seems not willing to register the event.

After loading the kml layer I need to add some attributes to the features
and sometimes to envoke another function to show a solution.

The page are http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/apps/Pentominoes/pentominoes.html
and the problem is, that to show the solutions (Introduction zeigen or show)
for IE6 is not possible, because loadend will not be observed. To start a
new game I always destroy the layer with the pieces and then load the layer
again to get the init position of the pieces.

I have corrected the part with "this".

Arnd

Chris, i saw that too but thought it should work anyway thanks to the
created closure. Eric
