Because you are hosting your page on a 'free' web service that makes its money by adding adverts to your webpages. The webservice is pretty dumb, and adds its adverst to your XML output as well. That invalidates the XML - the map is expecting geo-data, not adverts. The extra blank line may result from that too, but it's quite easy to accidentally add a blank line yourself in PHP. If you have a blank line in your PHP file before the <?php... marker, the will faithfully output that as a blank line before anything else, so have a careful look at your .php file This stuff isn't easy for beginners, the API is intended for developers with a bit of knowledge. Don't despair, it just takes time to gather the knowledge from the various fields; you are after all doing something quite ambitious with a variety of technologies - HTML, javascript, PHP, XML, SQL good luck, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
