OK, I'm so sorry! So, so sorry. Ralph's map page says:
if (value=="")
{
blah blah blah
}else{
blah blah blah
show(value);
}It uses the value "value" (which I'm going to rename something like "queryfromsuite" so I can remember what it's doing) when invoking the show(category) function in the onload section. Oh thank you! Oh thank you! Thank you over and over again! NOW I see how this all works. So (if I can correctly enable Mike's system of processing argument names), I can use the "location.search.substring" to set up various variables as globals. Then I can write IF statements in the onload section to either do things or not, based on whether or not one of the (global) variables has data. And I can use that data to populate the (global) function I'm calling in the onload section! I'm really, really sorry to be so obtuse. You folks are wonderful to put up with this. Just wonderful. Absolutely brilliant! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
