That's the better choice. "Programming the DOM" is what brought me
back to Javascript after years of disdaining it as web clutter. Now
that the language has matured (and with the nearly-universal and
nearly-consistent implementation of XMLHttpRequest), JS can play a
very significant role, as Google Maps shows. Rather just manipulating
strings of text, we now have the ability to programmatically address
every structural part of a document. Rad. A piece of the future; what
you learn now will be useful again.
But, as Ross points out, that's Javascript and this is the G. Maps API
list. Please don't feel pushed away by this desire to devote the
bandwidth of this list to more directly-Maps API questions. Also, it's
not always obvious at first what's causing a problem, so if one thinks
it's an API question, and does some diligent searching around first,
then it is appropriate to post here.
One nice thing about the community of this list is that the API
documentation and the tutorials offered by Mike and others provide
lots of good JS coding to emulate.
HTH.
