No, I'm afraid I'm up a creek with this project. Mike's example is great if one only wants to add some comments to a info window, but since I'm using var points to locate and place info and photos etc. at the markers with 3 tab windows, it won't work, or at least I'm not capable of making it work, if it could. The ezpageez example does have some use of var points, but for one thing, I can't find his DropDown list, and trying to extract just the code I need to use the section with the var points is way beyond me. Too much other code on his page for me to understand. An example of how I want to use a dropdown list to select and then to open a particular marker info window is at http://www.gil-fogoros.com/Names-Places.html where I've placed a dropdown list of a couple of the markers. Of course clicking on any of the markers will bring up the 3 tab window with info and some with photos, but when there are a lot of markers especially in a small area, it would be helpful to have a dropdown that a specific name could be selected and just that info window would open to show it's full content. This particular map just shows a few markers, but a couple of my other map pages have a lot more. Thank you very much for the time you spent. I'll just keep reading all the posts and trying to find an example that does what I need. I'm always trying to learn html and java code, but it's really tough for me. BTW, I did learn how to add a Excel type file to my web pages which some might find useful at my Main page at the dropdown list there. Much better and/or easier then creating large Tables of info.
