Problem: KML info balloons fail to open or open and are empty
Seems to only affect KML files hosted on Google Sites.
I tested a KML file hosted on my server and it did not show this
problem.
BTW, Google recommends using Google Sites to host KML files.

Note:  There is a time factor.  Open an info balloon then leave the
map alone for 5 minutes.  Now try to open a different balloon and you
should see the problem.

I made a small demo map as follows:

I copied Google's sample KML file and related html file.
I edited the KML file by adding 3 placemarks which each display the
default marker.
I included a short <description> for each marker.
I put  that tweaked KML file on my Google Sites account:
https://sites.google.com/site/gmap4files/p/temp/cta.kml

I edited Google's html file to point to the KML file on Google Sites.

I'm on XP using FF9, IE8 and Chrome
Chrome seems to be OK,
The problem happens in FF9 and IE8.

Here is the demo map:  http://www.mappingsupport.com/temp/kml_layer.html

I've been recommending for quite awhile that people use  Google Sites
to host KML files and yesterday was the first complaint I received
form one of my users.  Thus, I suspect something recently changed at
Google's end.

Can anyone else confirm or deny?
