Thanks again, Larry. Yes, once I corrected the version of geoxml3, IE9 ran it perfectly. I've taken your code from the sample you created and used it in my own file. It works! Thanks, again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript A

Thanks, again, Larry. I appreciate your continuing to coax me to a solution (which will probably be as plain as the nose on my face when I eventually find it). Anyway, I recreated my map as a simple map with the js and css built- in. It's at http://www.cartagram.com/maps/madisonal/madisonal.html

When I save the source and open it in IE or Chrome, a map of Google's campus appears. The source code contains no links to my external js, css, or kml files. Is that due to the "proxy"? (I'm not sure in the code what the proxy is.) Is there an alternative approach where each location is given an I

Larry, I'm not experienced enough yet to take your example and make it work. While I followed the instructions for implementing geoxml3, I only got one icon to display. So I went back to the example page you created for me hoping to copy the code in View Source. But the code didn't work. Can you

I like your app, Alex. The Search by Category is close to what I'm trying to do with my map. I'm trying to code the links of advertisers listed in the sidebar so that a clicked advertiser's infoWindow displays on the map. The geoxml3 js code will do what I need, except that it relies on a KmlLayer

Thank you, Larry! I'll explore and learn the source code and how to use geoxml3. That's exactly what I wanted. Also, thanks for the tip about KmlLayers. Google Maps provides an easy tool to create the marker and its infoWindow. But I couldn't find a way to link to the sidebar links or even display

I've searched this Group for help on linking sidebar links to markers. Most posts seem to create the sidebar from the markers. But I want to work the other way--create the sidebar first and then link its links to markers on the map whose infoWindows open when the sidebar link is clicked. Here's an

Finally got it to work... I changed the DOCTYPE from http://www.w3.org/1999/ xhtml"> to and everything worked at that point. As an aside, I'm using Gabriel Svennerberg's book but trying a different workflow. For example, instead of coding the markers in the .js file, I create the marker locati

Thanks, Mike. I had pasted the generated javascript into the .js file as the only content in the .js file--and it didn't run. I've also taken a basic file from Gabriel Svennerberg's book and then modified it with some of the Map Wizard's javascript, but that has worked either. It's probably some
