I first thought you meant something like this: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_frm/thread/62d3e326f96e306a/d414081aeac0adb3?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=dropdown+xml#d414081aeac0adb3 But I think the answers to your questions are to load the xml file, using it to populate the dropdown menus and saving the data needed to populate the sidebar programmatically as needed. Certainly doable, but if you are new to programming it will be challenging. I suggest you start with a small xml file and start by populating the dropdown menus (which doesn't really have anything to do with the Google Maps API, but is a javascript/html issue), then add the dynamic sidebar. Mike's tutorial and this group can help with the map specific parts (and possibly the others too, but it really isn't the right place). -- Larry > > On Jan 7, 3:11 am, "jon serrano" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > my bad the list can be stored in an XML file. > > here is another sample without jquery. the list of states and images are on > > a XML file.http://jonserr.com/edu_US_States/stateCapitals.html > > > On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 1:17 AM, m3 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Thanks for ur help guys... > > > Roossko: > > > I have with the designer of that website and he informed he used xml . > > > Jon: Can we get the list of entries also in jquery?? or only the > > > dropdowns?? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
