can Google Sites Embed Google Earth API/Plugin?

[JeffJensen]

Hello Earth API,

Is the Earth API compatible with sites.google.com? I thought
sites.google.com doesn't allow javascript so one cannot embed google
earth api into sites. Is this true? I also thought Mano said Earth API
works with Google Pages, but it appears this is being replaced by
Sites.

Background - following links discuss embedding Google Earth but unknow
if it works with Google Sites

Roman Nurik released a embedded KML gadget -

Embed Google KML/KMZ on your webpage or blog

sites.google.com

Thanks for the help,

The KML embedding gadget should work with Sites. I just tried it a few
days ago, seemed to be okay.

Hello Roman and Barry,

Thanks for the reply. I'm still having troubles getting Earth API to
work with Google Sites.

According to these two posts from Google Sites Group, the Sites
Administrators scrub all JavaScript, CSS and some HTML for security
reasons:

1.http://groups.google.com/group/sites-help-somethingisbroken/
browse_thread/thread/7c24fc6cd2353a71/1463c3aa9a66539e?lnk=gst&q=html
+javascript#1463c3aa9a66539e


2.
http://groups.google.com/group/sites-help-somethingisbroken/browse_thread/thread/9d38b3cba3585160/5354ecbe54d81fe4?lnk=gst&q=javascript#5354ecbe54d81fe4

So, if you have Earth API working on Sites, do you mind sharing more
details on how you got it to work?

Thanks again for your assistance,

Jeff Jensen

Its true sites doesnt allow embedding arbitary code in a site, but it
does allow carefully controled code via a Google Gadget

I was saying you could create a gadget that uses uses the Earth Plugin/
API and embed that. In the post I refereced is how to create a gadget
for embedding a 2D map from My Maps - purely to show you can use
gadgets.

But Roman is saying that his embeding KML gadget (referenced in the
mapperz blog post) does work on sites.

Goto sites, and edit your page, then 'Insert' menu and select
'More...' in the Gadgets section, on the popup, click 'Add by URL' and
paste in the XML URL of Romans gadget.

Hello Barry,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to follow your very helpful
instructions and get the Google Earth Gadget to install in Google
Sites.

When adding the gadget I have the option to add my own kml/kmz file to
display in Earth Gadget. How do I upload kml/kmz files into Google
Sites?

Thanks,

Jeff Jensen

Just use the 'attachment' feature. You can attach KML files to a page,
and then use the url in the gadget.

Hello Barry and Roman,

Thank you for your help on getting Roman's Embed KML Gadget (http://
earth.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/

I documented the steps to install the gadget at:
