[OpenLayers-Users] Re: Max size KML description content

Wed May 11 16:54:42 EDT 2011

Hello Rossko and all the rest,

I've cleaned up my KML. No errors anymore in
<http://kmlvalidator.com/validate.htm> with my KML url
<http://osm.peterse-uithuizen.com/~peter/info.kml>

Still FF will only read the first 4096 characters of the description
tag. IE will read all 5566 characters.

I'll hope someone can give me a clue whats going wrong in FF.

Thanks,
Peter
