Changing the size of the popup ballon

[Iratus]

Hello

I am working on a map with KMZ files that contain a lot of information in pop-up ballons when you click them. My problem is that when the info are displayed are much bigger than the boarder of the ballon and they exceed the boarders !!!

In google earth the data are displayed correctly but in google maps no. Is there a way to make this work ???

Thank you in advance

Probably. It is probably a css problem, but impossible to say for
sure without a link to your map.

Can we see the patient?

I am sorry but at the moment i have no server to upload my project and I am working locally.

My css file is the following. I think the problem is that my balloons are not made with javascript but are defined within kml files.



[code]

body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
background: #fff;
}
#map {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}



[/code]

I can't help you then, someone else might be able to. You could read
this:

from the v2 group but which is referenced in the v3 posting

Hello again

I am not a company but a simple student who is doing his homework ! For me paying to be able to upload my project in a server is not so easy.

I think is not possible for everybody to have access to a server as this cost money. I can send you all my code but I just don't have a server. I think you should consider this also.

I think you should consider the Terms. Your map must be public once
development is finished, so why not show willing and put it live a
little early? It helps with advice if it's publicly available so we
can see what you see.

And there are plenty of free hosts.

Hello

I managed to upload my work

There are still some problems as the buttons under the map don't work at the moment.

The problem as i stated before is that the balloons when you push a market are sometimes too small for the text and the photo.

Any ideas ???

Give the images a height and a width so the browser can correctly
calculate the size of the infowindow before the image loads.
(this is the first time you have mentioned images causing the
issue...)

Ok i can do this but what about the text ???

I mean if you push the Summit  marker (green one) the text is so big that doesn't fit either in the window.

Is this thing is going to work only if I change the image size ???

Is there any way of changing the pop up balloons size ??

Thanks again

The version of your kml that I am looking at has:
width="850" heigh="700"

heigh is not a valid attribute. And I would think that 850 would be
too wide.

Sure. Create and manage them yourself using the API. Include a div
with a specified size (you can even make it add scroll bars if the
content overflows).

So i can change the size of the pop up balloons of a kmz file ??? Or i have to introduce again the information through the javascript ??? Because If i have to introduce everything again is too much work !!!!!

Thanks

[geoco...@gmail.com]

One of your kmz files unzipped:
http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/v3_geoxml3_kmltest_linktoB.html?lat=28.031703&lng=86.924591&zoom=13&type=m&filename=http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/southeast_ridge_kml.xml

Not quite sure why the line doesn't work with geoxml3 and your kml.

But the infowindow content fits if you click on the summit marker.

Sure. That is what it is for.

Just be aware it is a client side kml parser and does the parsing in
the browser, it suffers from performance issues with complex kml (and
doesn't handle kmz at all), but your kml is fairly simple.
