Are you saying that each url serves the same page (say master.domain.com/map.htm) and you need that page to determine which subdomain is used? Or does "basically the same page" mean that each subdomain has its OWN page which is practically the same as all the others, just with a different town coded into it? I guess it's the former. The latter is trivial. > Is this doable ? As Marcelo says, "Anything is possible". Some things are less possible than others. This one is straightforward. If the subdomain is entirely arbitrary (so you haven't pre-defined anything) and the user can use ANY town name there, then you need to use the URL to determine the town. See http://www.elated.com/articles/using-javascripts-location-object-to-work-with-urls/ and then use split() to get the server part of the URL. Geocode the town and centre the map accordingly. Note that some towns may get the wrong result: cambridge.domain.com is one where the geocoder might choose the wrong one to resolve. If it's not arbitrary and you know in advance which towns are available, then geocode your alternatives beforehand. When you use split() to get the server part of the URL, instead of geocoding it, look it up in your list and centre the map accordingly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
