That worked really well thanks. Infact the examples on the EGeoXml
site are just what I was looking for.
My problem now is trying to access individual exml gmarkers myself.
The EGeoXml code is very well written but a bit too complex for me to
decipher, plus I don't want to start editing the EGeoXml code if I
don't have too (despite what I say below).
Basically, I want to get details from each marker to use elsewhere on
the page. This would allow me to briefly list the markers description
under each title. Mainly, I'd like to zoom to the most recent marker
by getting it's co-ordinates. As this will change often I can't hard
code them.
How can I do this?
Also, as a side note, I was going to ask how to show the markers in
reverse chronological order (i.e, most recent first). But I've done
it.
If anyone's interested, for reference, just add this near the bottom
of EGeoXml.js (where processing is performed if it's the last file.
Under sortbyname):
if(that.opts.reverseorder) {
that.side_bar_list.reverse();
}
