No. Files don't manually do anything, they just lie there. If you need some means of choosing what data to allow users to see, there must be some active intervention by a program of some kind. The data itself can reside in a file, or a database, or several files, or in a Google spreadsheet, etc etc. If the program and all the data it needs to choose from are available from the client end, in a webpage, the program can be circumvented and the data seen by the client. You can't "just write a webpage" to do this securely. So, you need this program of some kind to be remote from the client - a server program or application. And you need the data store(s) to be remote from the client, so that can't be accessed outside of the way you have provided. You need to grasp client-server architecture and probably get into server-side programming. What you want to do is certainly achievable, and has been achieved on many thousands of websites. Approach your problem as though you were going to implement a simple text webpage, that shows some data to the public and offers more data (or, say, editing features) to people who have a login or password. There are hundreds of ways to do that, choice depending on many factors such as skills, available technology, level of security, scale of operation etc etc. But this has nothing to do with the Maps API, it is a general web authoring question. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
