On the page: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/basic3.htm Did you read this: ========================================================== XML attributes strings can't contain the characters < or >. You have to use < and >, which will get converted to < and > as the XML data is read. Instead of using XML attributes, it's possible to lay out your XML data like this: <markers> <marker lat="43.65654" lng="-79.90138" label="Marker One"> <infowindow>Some stuff to display in the<br>First Info Window</infowindow> </marker> </markers> Or even like this, using CDATA: <markers> <marker lat="43.65654" lng="-79.90138" label="Marker One"> <infowindow><![CDATA[ Some stuff to display in the<br>First Info Window ]]></infowindow> </marker> </markers> When using CDATA, is is not necessary to use < and > in the contained HTML. ========================================================== -- Larry > > Patrick > > On Oct 6, 2:59 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > On Oct 6, 11:47 am, patrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Ok, so I am working on a volunteer project for the American Cancer > > > Society to display their fundraising walks in the state of South > > > Carolina.
