Fabulous! That worked. I can't tell you how long I sat and stared at
that one wondering why it did not work. Aargh.
By the way Mike, thanks a bunch for the examples from your web page.
they are very helpful. Without the online resources, I would be sunk
for this project. If you want to post this code to your page, I would
be happy to donate it. I think it could have some utility, especially
for some people doing research projects. Also, a big thanks to google
for supporting the maps api. Here's my final code (a few small changes
from the previously posted):
