In the xml, add the date (making sure it is still valid xml) then in the routine that parses the xml file, get the contents of that element or the value of that tags attribute (depending on how you add the date to the xml) and display it in the html element that is in the place you want to display it. > > Question 2 > Which is the best version to use?

None. V3.4 will be retired shortly now that v3.7 is coming out. Only 3 versions are live at a time as described in the documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#VersionTypes So if you choose v3.6, you should have about a year before it is retired and you are served v3.7. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
