ok i did some work on this this morning and started over with mikes code again... http://www.mototips.com/sample/sample.html So now i have my map and its using custom icons.
Now I am wondering how I can change my xml file http://www.mototips.com/sample/custom.xml I would like to add a link back to a page within the info window. I tried using <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.mototips.com";>Place Holder Link</a>]]> and I tried using Xlink but when ever i use either of those the markers vanish from the map.
