The technique works in principle. That's how the API determines the size of the contents that you pass to an info window. After you've measured the contents and created a suitable container div on your page, you can then .appendChild() the measured div to the container div, rather than needing to recreate it. Two things to watch out for: 1. You do need to allow the browser time to render the off-screen div before you measure it. The API does this by using a setTimeout of zero milliseconds between creating the div and measuring it. 2. Make sure that attaching the div to your page doesn't cause it to inherit CSS that changes the layout. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
