Hello Tom, Thanks for your time; much appreciated.
I see; so the Google example more or less pulls up commonly queried for manufacturers. I suppose the attributes feed was used for educational purposes. Having seen the AutosMasher Mashup, a pure JavaScript application looked very attractive; however, if I should supply my own list of makes, maybe it'll have to be PHP/MySQL based. On the second point regarding the locale, I added this to the 'snippet' query variable (can a locale be set for the attributes feed?): query = query + "[target country : GB]"; In your informed opinion, should I attempt to build such applications in JavaScript or PHP? If PHP, simpleXML or Zend? Still getting my head around Google Base; looks fascinating. Again, thanks for your time.
