I am new to Google Map api v3. I am trying to create a dynamic web project in JEE. For this, I want to show some places(marker) in the google map. To do that java script must read from XML file. I have found some example here. http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/xmlparsing/It looks fine but when I have downloaded the files in my computer (downloadurl.html, data.xml) and opened it using chrome/firefox, the map is visible but the markers is not. It looks to me that it has failed to read from XML file. Could you please give me advise where is the problem and how to fix it? My files are here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B64N8GK8re42aGd5OUNXeXpIbWMThank you.
