I am having difficulty defining the terms for what I would like to do so I am having trouble doing searches through the forum. I am assuming this is done using javascript rather than php...
ideally I would like to have a form input box that asks what city (in the USA) the page (or a new one called by the form) displays a list of all the cities with that name (example: there are 10 "concord" cities in the USA) and a clickable link. When the user clicks on the link for the city they want, a new page with a google map is displayed centered on the city (so the lat/lng can easily be in the url for the new page) I know the pieces: the geocoder can give me the xml info (example: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml&key=abcdefg&q=concord) and once I have the lat/lng for the map, the code for displaying the map is easy. But I don't understand how to call the maps.google.com site and use the return code while inside of a web page. is that an AJAX thing? Is there an example or thread in the forum?
