Nah, the KMLs are generated dynamically as each request is made by the PhP and DOM. Making KMLs to be displayed by GGeoXML() was just that the only way I knew to make polygons show up.
See, my bigger problem is that I am new to programming, DOM, and OOP, so I don't know the terms for things, but programming I can do well enough. If I have a KML file, and I want to display it in the map, and I don't want to use GGeoXML() to parse it - what is another function that I can use to display the information? These are called methods, or functions correct? I can change the polygon data (which is stored in a MYSQL table) into any form imaginable if I know what the function desires in terms of input. If I do my own parsing manually - do you think I'll still be able to get the polygons to display the same info windows that are written from the KML? Theoretically, the answer has to be YES, right - since if addoverlay() can take the infowindow specifications from GGeoXML() it should be able to do it from the function construct that I create to assemble the data too. Thanks for your help Andrew!
