Pamela, That sounds ambiguous: "learn more about javascript" means more than how much? If you don't know what an array is, you don't need to "lean more javascript", you need to "learn javascript", without the "more". :-) Call me narrow minded, but I truly believe that it is in everybody's best interest to keep things on topic. If people answer questions about basic javascript, or about maps,google.com (non-API), then two negetive things happen: 1. A potentially useful piece of information is missing from the relevant group, (javascript group or maps.google.com group) 2. We pollute the search results of this group. How can we then ask people to search for the answer before posting, if we don't bother to keep search results relevant to the group's topic? I have nothing against newbies. We've all been there! But I'm trying to get things to work in the way they are intended to, which is pretty much in line with your own recommended reading here: http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html#forum > So, please be > gentle and kindly point them to resources they should be using to > learn more. I think we always are! In the 2+ years that I've been a member of this forum, only once did I write "RTFM". :-) -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
