I see but what if the posted link deosnt actually show the problem in action. its not like my map doesnt work , it does, I just want my own custom markers.
I actually didnt know that. You misread my post. I was just telling you what I did that I thought would use my custom marker but instead created another error such as my map does not move when I click a geocode link. im not a big java script fan and if i was i could fix this. UGH!!!
