That one might be about an understanding of what server-side programming is about. Boston's version is almost certainly NOT a flat file - the clue is in the suffix .php. It'll be a program that generates the content that you see at the browser, depending perhaps on what sort of browser you have and what day of the week it is, and maybe on what else you have visited in Boston's site - we have no way of telling anything about that from the client side. You won't be able to replicate that in a flat file, ever. Your own copy probably fails because your own server is trying to execute the file - because of that .php suffix - and won't pump out the content unless you actually write some php to do that. Having messed that part up, which seems fairly key to all the complex things the Boston page does, it's no suprise at all that the map goes downhill from there. Why not contact Boston and see if they'll set up a version for you? In your first post you were just 'practicing' so there didn't seem any urgency. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
