Ok Thanks David, I am not quite getting it, the value appears empty. I have a test page at: http://www.courtenay.widget-it.com/parks/ I tried assigning the variable lat and lon as you suggested but they appear empty. The park label is : "Pinegrove Park" , that is the only one I have values for ".streetviewLat" and "streetviewLon" you can see the regular streetview works (the whole link is in the database) when I shell out to a new browser window, but not when I try pass the variables. any help greatly appreciated :) Martin
