Thanks Mike,
Obviously I am new at this and am really appreciating your help.
I still can't get it to show the marker. Without out the second script
section below, which I found from your tutorials, and setting the
mapcenter above I can get it to center where I want, then do
directions after they submit the form.
Take a look at how it looks now. www.dalelarsen.com/beta/reception.asp.
View the source to see how I have it currently working.
Then after adding the script to show the markers it throws an error.
This is what I have now.
