[OpenLayers-Users] semicolon is GeoRSS url's

Sun Jan 14 11:43:45 EST 2007

hi Christopher,

The same problem also occurs with the most recent svn. The example page that
you pointed to, uses javascript to get the url in the map dynamically. Could
that be the difference? To prove my point (:-), you can find the code of the
GeoRSS example with the semicolon-url precoded in the map function below and
as an attachment. Note that functionality is broken (and precoded feed
doesn't show). I guess  the semicolon just breaks the add.layer statement in
two?

robert,
