Well, it looks like I am not quite as ready as I thought I was. I am
confused because the link that you provided for sending php data to
client uses javascript to create the map. ("Once the XML is working in
the browser, it's time to move on to actually creating the map with
JavaScript." ) What I want to know is if/how I can create the map
without javascript. I will be studying up on javascript to do it that
way, but even if I use that, I would also like to be able to provide
an alternative method for anyone who does not have js activated in
their browser. I searched the Google website, but couldn't find how
to do it without js. (But, being a novice, there is a lot of what I
read that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.) Are you sure that it is
possible? (Once again, please have patience with me. I am a
"newbie".)
