That should be fairly straightforward....yet I think you're going to have to figure out how to eval the stuff going BACK to the map.html page in JS. Gawd I hate JavaScript. Actually, I'm probably going to have to figure out something similar in the next day or two. It'll be easy enough...but possibly painful...as web dev these days requires knowing like 8 languages at once for any given app. yay!
Pass the fields in as vars, set them to a numeric order and then tuck them in an array and sort order them for the display? That's possibly over engineered.... Anyway, you get the picture, yes? k On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Eric <[email protected]> wrote: > Well what I am trying to do is setup so the locations I am listing > have an opportunity to pay to have their location "featured" on our > site.
