Have **you** tried it? The code you posted creates <marker></marker> elements with text inside it, instead of the xml attributes that Google Maps(and generally XML-enabled applications) utilize. No, I haven't loaded this into Google Maps itself(I don't have your data source to test if I chose to waste my time doing so), but if it works, it's a bug/undocumented 'feature' in Google Maps and you can't expect it to keep working. > I just believe in learning from others mistakes instead of trying to > reinvent the wheel every time. Writing a text file like this is not the generally-accepted best way to write XML files, generally. The more accepted way is a DOM-based XML parser, such as MSXML. Occasionally writing to the text file directly such as you do is useful if you have very large files, but IMO, those aren't a good candidate for xml in the first place. Not all XML files are as primitive as the one you have-- many are multiple levels deep. I'm sorry to hear about your financial woes. Possibly it would be smarter for your financial situation to find a job(any job) to pay some bills instead of doing websites for non-profits, etc.? -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
