KML layer in Openlayers doesn't work on localhost

I have strange problem with rendering KML file in OpenLayers. It seems to be easy, but it's not. I've started with an example from here OpenLayers example . I wanted to add my own KML. It didn't work. I've created a local copy of the example with absolute urls, as follows:

It doesn;t render. I tried to change KML url to my local copy of sundial.kml (url: "http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/kml/sundials.kml", -> url: "/sundials.kml, and it didn't work either. I don't have Idea why.

Finally I want to add my own KML files, but they do not show either. What should I do?

Thanks in advance Rafal

The reason that your local copy of sundials.kml won't render is that you're using OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP, which won't load an address of the kind file://directory/file.kml.

But I've no idea why your posted code doesn't render. I'm currently wrestling with the same problem. All I can tell you is what else doesn't work.

The Openlayers documentation explains how a GML layer can be used to load a KML layer. Unfortunately, the code snippet they give in the documentation doesn't match their actual example, which uses a Vector layer just like most of their other KML (and GML) examples.

I copied the example code anyway, but changed the Vector layer to var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("GML", "gml/polygon.xml");, as per the documentation. Then I made local copies of Openlayers.js, polygon.xml and the .css stylesheets, and changed the urls to point to my local copies. So everything is local.

                    "OpenLayers WMS", "http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0",
                    {layers: 'basic'}
                );

                var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("GML", "gml/polygon.xml");

                map.addLayers([wms, layer]);
                map.zoomToExtent(new OpenLayers.Bounds(
                    -3.92, 44.34, 4.87, 49.55
                ));

It doesn't work.

I also tried the suggestion from the documentation:

var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML", "kml/lines.kml", {
   format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
   formatOptions: {
       'extractStyles': true
   }
});

It doesn't work.

There is even a specific example of loading "locally stored GML vector data on a basemap". It uses the same code as the documentation, so, needless to say, it doesn't work. I can't hyperlink to it because I haven't enough reputation yet to make three hyperlinks, but you can find it if you search the examples for "GML".

Openlayers has a security feature to make it difficult to load data and javascript from wildly different locations (and a workaround called "proxyhost" if you really have to do this). But I can't see how that would get involved when all the urls point to the localhost.

Please be gentle, this is my first post!

EDIT: It turns out that a) it's a browser security feature, not OpenLayers, and b) it doesn't allow a script on the localhost to load any other file on the localhost, even if you're offline. Chrome/Chromium has a command-line parameter -allow-file-access-from-files. Using this parameter, the above examples work. Other workarounds (Google them) seem tricky.

This thread is old but I know it will still be looked at.

Try setting the projection when creating the KML layer. That worked for me.

    var kmllayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
            projection: map.displayProjection,
