I don’t know if i’m doing it right because i’m not good in jquery. After adding the code, IE still doesn’t work. Anyway, I found out that using the other option you mentioned coordinates.xml work with IE. But it would be great if xml.php will work too.

Thanks anyway for sharing this tutorial.

Yes, I noticed that, but I didn’t have time to change the source yet. The problem is that IE caches the xml file, therefore you need to use a unique name for it. You can accomplish that by passing additional attributes in ajax request. It will look more or less like that:

var random = Math.random();
$.get(’xml.php?random=’ + random,function(data) {

I hope this helps, let me know.
