Got it working.... guess you guys have been busy.
In case anyone is interested.
Only way to nest the quotes to work was to actually have the href call
another
javascript function.
htmlx = '<a href="javascript:goats1('+i+');">' + ntext + '</a><BR>';
then the function is:
function goats1(a) {
GEvent.trigger(exml.overlayman.markers[a],'click');
}
Works great now. I know most examples I looked at were building out
there
own markers. Could not really find any that used GeoXml and did
anything
with the sidebar.
Thanks for the help guys.
