Hi Andrew, thanks for your help. Sorry I don't have a link to that version of my page as the end result was basically the same as the tutorial: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/mouseover.htm My problem was that I couldn't integrate it with sidebars and tabs. Your suggestion of transparent icons sound a good idea - any idea on how I can appoach this with the following map: http://geocities.com/middcc/google-map3.htm Sorry i'm still very new to javascript and have been following tutorials and this forum to get where I am now. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
