Where do you have the color in your feed? As Larry pointed out in an earlier post, you have 4 parts but part 5, which is the color, so that turns out to be undefined, then you pass it to your create marker function but don't use it, instead you use an empty array. I suggest you go through the logic and data once more, and follow how it is running vs. how you want it to run. Using an HTML feed instead of XML has made your life more complicated, but that's a choice you've already made and probably should stick with it.
I think the basic problem is you're not using the debugging tools available like Firebug, which is how most developers solve their problems. With this tool, you can step through the execution of your code and see what values each variable is assigned. Also, making a simple data stream and using that in test mode will make it easier to see what's working and what's not. Once you get the basics working you can add lots of data and see it function the way you want. A common mistake made by beginning programmers is to try and code everything first, and then through some sort of miracle, expect it to work exactly as they've hoped. A seasoned programmer uses a step by step approach: code - test - debug - code - test - debug. Each time more code is added, test and debug that new code. This way, when the program, page or whatever is finished, it actually works, or has a minor bugs that are easy to find. Using the "hope it all works" method is virtually impossible to do, unless you're Data from Star Trek. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
