Larry, Thank you very much for taking the time to view my problem, and especially for your example of using colored markers and the Check boxes. Now since your above post, I've searched for as much information as I can about how to and where to put the iconStr etc. that you suggest, but pretty much all the other posts are using XML calls which I'm not even close to understanding. I wanted to be able to add more tabs to your icon marker info-windows, and not use the default icon at all. I've since added what I have from your example to a test index html page and now I see I have another problem where the info-windows are not large enough to show everything that I have as information on any of them. I'm afraid I'll have to give up on being able to use your example with the Check boxes and not having multi-tabbed info-windows until I learn a whole lot more. It appears that I'm only able to understand how a lot of the coding works is to see an example map page with the coding that would have all the features I'd like to incorporate in my map. I'm not as good at coding as I am at stealing others work and effort.
This is the way my index page would look if I were to actually change the original at our web site. www.tiltonrealty.com/Test-index.html Thanks again for your help and I'll keep studying and looking for what I need.
