You need to set the sidebar contents in the callback function after it finishes processing the markers. What happens if you don't do that is you send off the request for the data then execute the line that fills in the sidebar (which doesn't have any contents yet). Sometime later the results come back from the server, it adds the markers to the map and fills in the side_bar_html variable, but it is never used. See Mike's examples in his tutorial. -- Larry > > thanks, > victor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
