Hey guys, i was wondering if someone had an idea to delete the markers. Im using the SAVE method suggested in this post.
Next i was wondering if there is a way to implement a delete method where a user can click a marker and delete it from the text file such that the next time the map loads, the selected marker is gone. I know this could be problematic since ANY user can delete any marker but i have a login page to secure this from happening. This is still to ensure that everything server-side is automatic for the users of this project. Thanks.
