I am writing a program that generates KML files, but I can't find a good description or documentation for what the <Snippet> tag is actually used for. Does it get displayed in Google Earth?
A short description of the feature. In Google Earth, this description
is displayed in the Places panel under the name of the feature. If a
Snippet is not supplied, the first two lines of the <description> are
used. In Google Earth, if a Placemark contains both a description and
a Snippet, the <Snippet> appears beneath the Placemark in the Places
panel, and the <description> appears in the Placemark's description
balloon. This tag does not support HTML markup. <Snippet> has a
maxLines attribute, an integer that specifies the maximum number of
lines to display.

Mozilla has a plethora of browser extensions included at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Examples. One of them is "Brorderify", which has a content script that adds a border to page matches:
I have matches set to "matches": ["<all_urls>"], the border is added to most sites (google searches, twitch, ucla.edu) but not on all sites. I found that it does not work on youtube, or reddit. How are they blocking it?
I can see the content script when I open the debugger and there are no console errors.
Inspecting the body shows that their is a border, even though we can't see it.
Deleting the <ytd-app>...</ytd-app> tag will actually show the border.
How is the border covered or not displayed?
If you use the element selector and hover of the body tag, you'll see that the body tag is only showing a very small portion of the page. The other elements are overlayed on top of the body using absolute position. Youtube have some weird custom tags that sets it's style as absolute position over the body.
Looking at this ytd-app tag, on the right you can see the style is set at {position: absolute, top: 0, right: 0} which sets right on top of the body. There's some other tags that does the same at different positions...It's a huge mess.
If you set the boder on this tag, you will see a border on the right side but not all of it. There are other tags that is overlayed on top. Probably a tag overlayed absolute position for the side bar, another for the app bar and etc.
There is a KML file that I created by exporting a layer from ArcGIS10.0. The file shows some placemarks that I need to be labeled. However, I want the labels (and the points themselves) to be visible in Google Earth only at or below a certain altitude. I know that using the <Region> tag is the way to do this, but, with a triple-digit number of placemarks, typing in the tag and all the rest of the code for every single placemark does not seem very practical.
The points are all located in one folder, and I wonder if I can use <Region> at the folder level. However, placing <Region> and the rest of the code after the <folder> tag and </Region> just before </folder> did not work. If I am to modify the behavior of the labels at the folder level, where should I place the tags?
Also, how do I edit KML code? I know that I can right-click a file in Google Earth, copy it, and paste the code into a text editor, but how do I get the edited code back into the file?
Sorry for such trivial questions, I'm as new to KML as can be.
By the sound of it, you've tried this:
<folder>
<region>
<placemark></placemark>
<placemark></placemark>
<placemark></placemark>
...
</region>
</folder>
From the KML documentation:
Also, within the KML file, notice that the Region is a sibling of the
image (or geometry) whose visibility it affects.
Therefore what you want to do is this:
<folder>
<region>
[scale limits go here]
</region>
<placemark></placemark>
<placemark></placemark>
<placemark></placemark>
...
</folder>
In terms of editing the KML file - just open it directly in your text editor, don't copy it out of Google Earth.
Here is the KML file. Only one custom icon is shown at placemark point.
What is the problem with the others?
I figured out why does not show the icon image at the placemark except for the blue flag.
All /except for blue flag/ icon URL is begins with "www." instead of "http://www."
It was a basic mistake by myself. :-(
I have some <placemark> and I dont know if it is posible
When I select a placemark I want to appear lines to diferents points (that I
know the cordinates)
From my Placemark to diferente points
I dont have any idea how I can do it. I was trying to put all the code inside <description> but that doesn't works.
Hey I found something helps me :D

They are ussing like a rollover in the placemark not showing the lines in one state
Does anybody know a way of styling a google earth placemark balloon differently than the original one looks like? i am not talking about the kml data i put into the balloon. i know how to style this. I am talking about the bubble itself, I would like to have it lesser rounded and with a far lesser padding. Also, i'd like to have it closer to the placemark icon. how can i realize this?
Unfortunately, no - the basic style of the balloon is determined by the application and there is no exposed way to alter it. However, you could use image based screen overlays rather than balloons if stylistic concerns are your priority.
