Excellent - I did not know you could place the CDATA tag inside the XML document itself - this makes things much easier.
Now that we have a JQuery model pulling through XML data, and an accordion menu, would it be possible to use the JavaScript links in the side_bar menu to create start and end points for a multi-point routing directions on the map itself (http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ example_multi2.htm)? This would be an ideal feature, where I would create more markers indicating the key subway and rail stations near the camps (e.g. Warren Street, Goodge Street, Euston, St Pancras International and Kings Cross stations), and have a category in the side_bar called 'Transport/How to find us'. Visitors would then click on one of the stations as a start point and then a place or department on the UCL campus as an end point, then click an 'ask for directions button', a box would then reveal printable directions of how to get there. Or is this now at a point where it is better to start with a plain Campus map and lose the virtual tour videos and tabs?
