I mean when the SVG icons property is set to null then IE is not able to set it in again using the setOptions method. It seems that IE is only able to handle this sort of symbols when it is defined directly as polyline property. No chance using setOptions to manipulate it afterwards.
This was tested in IE 8 because newer IEs aren't available for XP. On Nov 4, 3:39 pm, "Enoch Lau (Google Employee)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh wait, I think I see it.
