Can't Display Polylines on a Google Map
You can use the Google Maps on your own website to provide a range of useful services. One feature available via the API is the polyline feature to join two markers using a line. This has many good uses where two markers need to be associated with each other.
Description
Unfortunately there is a common problem where the polyline wont display , and there will be no obvious error messages. After some research a fix was found to this problem.
This issue is more likely to occur in Internet Explorer.
Solution
Place to following code inside the <head> tag of your page
<style type="text/css">
v\:* {
behavior:url(#default#VML);
}
</style>
Also , use :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
in the header instead of....
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
