But Brian, the thing is that the question has nothing at all to do with the topic of this group, the Google Maps JavaScript API.
The fact that you're using GDownloadUrl doesn't change that a bit. That function is merely a very thin wrapper around XMLHttpRequest, which is just a way to do a GET or a POST to a URL - the same thing a browser does when you load a page or submit a form. Let's turn it around: Suppose you went to the Apache configuration group and asked, "I'm downloading some data from my Apache server and using it in my Google Maps API app. That's working fine - I'm getting the correct data from my server - but when I put some markers on the map and click on one of them, it displays a different marker's address in the infowindow. Any idea what's wrong?" Would it be too surprising if the reply were, "Dude, we're a bunch of Apache experts here, but it sounds like your Apache server is working fine, and the problem is in the client code? We don't know beans about the Google Maps API - is there a group for that API where you might find someone who knows about it?" If they were as nice as me about it, they might even give you the URL for this group. :-) I'm not trying to shoo you away - I'm not the Group Police even if I wanted to be (which I don't). I'm just trying to help you find the best place to get the information you need. -Mike > From: thebrianschott > > Michael, > > I can see why you asked what my Google Maps question was. > And maybe this is not the right forum, but my application is > a Google Maps API and my question about the two files > details.txt and myserver.php is because they are either > written or read by GDownloadUrl.
