Thanks to Ralph, Mike, and Larry, my map is now working. I've fixed the coding for the 3 icons showing but still need to change some coding for the other colored markers. It does work out that what ever alpha character I use for the icon markers on the map, the same alpha characters have to be the exact same as the side table colors and alpha characters, which is OK for my use. Thanks, Gil The test example is at http://www.tiltonrealty.com/Test-Gil-Markers-05.html
