[trunk] geoXML3.fetchXML function does not work on Firefox 14.X +

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since I am using jQuery anyway I changed the implementation of this function to 
the following to make it work in any browser:

geoXML3.fetchXML = function (url, callback) {
  function timeoutHandler() {
    callback();
  };

    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: url,
        success: function(xml) {
            callback(xml);
        }
    });
};

The polys branch works for me in FF 14.0.1:

Thanks,

I forgot to say that I am loading a considerable ammount of points.

I can show you where. Just visit this page and click on 
search(https://apps5a.ris.environment.gov.au/shipwreck/public/maps/shipwreck-map
-search-load.do). You will see it gets stuck, but it works fine in Chrome and 
IE. Since I did my change works everywhere. It does not give any error in the 
client because what is happening is that the getcher is clossing the connection 
before finsished to download the complete response.

I want to update also that I think the preoblms started with changes being done 
to the XMLHttpRequest object since Firefox 12+: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_12_for_developers

Anyway I think it is a deprecated way of handling Ajax request. You would be 
better of copyying the Ajax handling code from jQuery inside you js, so you 
don't have dependencies.

Cheers,
Angel.

Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined shipwreck-map-search.js:113

Looks like you are using the trunk, that is fairly old, please try the polys 
branch:
