This is a really useful project,especially because it does (amongst lots of
other useful things) the one thing the google parser won't - ie placemarker
links opening in the SAME page - but it has taken me over 8 hours to get
on top of it due the frustrating lack of documentation or basic examples
with explanations.
This doesn't need to be long, but the essentials needed are;
1) The simplest example showing how to parse an external kml file using
geoxml rather than GGeoxml which most users will be replacing. The 3rd
party samples linked to from your site are unfortunately not really
suitable as tutorial material.
2) Details on the options that are possible. I've had had to beautify the
compressed script (which has no copyright information by the way, you might
want to address that for the next release) and pour over the code just to
find out basic information on how to style infowindow names. It needn't be
this hard!
3) Ideally you would release a version that doesn't clash with jQuery's use
of $. I know there are workarounds, but none are very satisfactory when you
have perhaps 20 or 30 libraries in use. jQuery is probably the most popular
framework out there and clashing with it isn't good for uptake of geoxml.
I stress it's a GREAT piece of work, but I'm sure the author could pull
together the documentation that is needed in less than an hour and save
countless programmers days of frustration as a result ;-)
