Thanks for your reply. The Ajax.Request("/pivrain3/...) url returns a string /images/ rain_sensors/0.03.png (in single quotes) so newImageIcon should be that url as a string, right? when i do this, the marker is not updating but if i copy the image url into the browser, it does load the image.
unless i am mistaking your answer. thanks On Jan 21, 1:31 pm, Rossko <ros...@culzean.clara.co.uk> wrote: > > newImageIcon = new Ajax.Request("/pivrain3/ .. > ... > > markers_array_a[index].setIcon(newImageIcon); > ... > > i cannot tell what i am doing wrong, > > Setting the marker's .setIcon() to some strange object instead of > either (a) a string representing a url or (b) a MarkerImage object > ?http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.h... > > You don't need to fetch the image ; that's the API's job.
