Re: New Article - Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5

Thanks for sharing your example - it is excellent! I do have a question however, I would like to implement an auto-refresh timer that redraws the pins every minute or so. I was thinking along the lines of setInterval either firing the onchangeview event or manually calling _GetPinData but I cannot seem to find where this timer code should go.

Can you provide any assistance with this?

Never mind the above post, it was as simple as using setInterval(this._GetPinData,60000); in the _init() function.

Bug in Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5?

First off, you're awesome for supplying this code, thanks a lot! It has been really helpful in my Virtual Earth map.

This has been awhile since you've posted this article, but I think I found a bug in the supplied code. I noticied that sometimes in IE 7 that the InfoBox would get stuck on Loading... and never display my data. I found out that occasionally the ajax method returns really fast and interrupts the _PinActivate function. My solution to this was to wrap the call to _getAJAXContent with the setTimeout method and an interval of 100ms.
