title: google maps kmz polygon `<description>`$[name] suddenly not interpreting in balloon
body: <p>This problem has only cropped up recently, but I couldn't find any reference to google changing anything relevant.</p>
  
  <p>I have a site where I want to display <em>Just</em> the name of a region on the map when it is clicked on, and not in the hideous default style <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> is always displayed in. </p>
  
  <p>So, in the <code>&lt;BalloonStyle&gt;&lt;text&gt;</code> add $[description], and in <code>&lt;description&gt;</code> add CDATA $[name] </p>
  
  <p>This works well in google maps, and up until not long ago, worked well in my google maps.</p>
  
  <p>Now (when they are clickable) my polygons show the huge name, followed by $[name] or $[description] if there's nothing in <code>&lt;description&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Some of the interior of balloon (from view selection source):
  <code>&lt;div jstcache="0" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0em;" torrens_rural_catchment=""&gt; Torrens Rural Catchment &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;div jstcache="0" id="iw_kml"&gt;&lt;div jstcache="0"&gt;$[name]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>And! One of my polygons is completely invisible, but clickable! (perfectly visible in earth)</p>
  
  <p>I'm completely lost as to why this has started happening. I can't think of anything I've done to the code to affect it. </p>

  (click near underneath the green area for invisible polygon. also, site not finished)</p>
  
  <p>using Shabdar's Google Maps Control for ASP.NET</p>
  
  <p>all kmz are under 30 kb</p>
  
  <p>please help!</p>

  <p>"<code>&lt;description&gt;</code> HTML content is allowed but is sanitized to protect from cross-browser attacks; entity replacements of the form <code>$[dataName]</code> are unsupported." ok, fair enough, how do i display just the name (preferably in small text)? it's always breaking!</p>
  
  <p>kml detail:
  google earth shows just the name in small text, maps shows the large name and description text below it.</p>

  <p>when I refresh the page the kml is no longer clickable.</p>
  
  <p>has google changed the way it interprets these things recently?</p>
