I’m using the GGeoXml object to overlay KML on an embedded Google Map. I need to customize the popup balloon for placemarks, so I’m trying to use the <BalloonStyle> element:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Document xmlns='http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0'>     <name>Concessions</name>     <Style id='masterPolyStyle'>         ...         <BalloonStyle>             <text>                 <![CDATA[                   <h6>Concession</h6>                   <h4>$[name]</h4>                   <p>$[description]</p>                 ]]>             </text>             <displayMode>default</displayMode>             <bgColor>DDA39B81</bgColor>         </BalloonStyle>     </Style>      ...  </Document>

This works as expected in Google Earth, but the embedded map API appears to ignore this altogether. I suppose I could just leave out the <name> element altogether and just put everything in HTML inside the <description> element, but I’d like to be able to take advantage of the <ExtendedData> element to display custom data in a structured way.

  1. No, like you have mentioned, html in the description is the only way I know that you can control the style of balloons through kml/georss feed.
