Denny, I don't know of any way to do what you want without fat-fingering the information in to the Google map script. A possible alternative is to use Google Earth (free) to create a .kmz file of locations and descriptions which Google Map can use for display. You should be able to copy and paste the locations and descriptions into Google Earth. Three maps using this approach are here: http://www.borisbrooks.com/genealogy/google/ All other solutions I can think of require programming an active web page (which rootsweb doesn't allow).

You need to enter the folder. i.e. add it to the URL so the browser goes to it. But, you'll need to add a page name after the folder name in order to get there. Let's say your new folder is called zebra. Let's say your account name is ~georgia The URL needs changed after the tilda georgia/ So freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~georgia/zebra/your-page.htm Go to your web, look at the URL, stick in the new folder between / / as in /zebra/ after the dot com slash Then, erase the end of the URL and put in a page name.

Hi Pat, Just add the name of the folder and then the file name if it is not index.htm(l) to the path where you stored the file. The first part of the URL will be whatever you normally use.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. I created a new folder within my Public Folder and put a test file in it. (I do not have any other folders as all my files are listed separately.) I don't know if that makes a difference, How can I access the new folder? Only my present website files show up when I bring up my site. It would be helpful if you would give me step by step instructions. I use Dreamweaver for the Mac and Fetch to access my files. thanks again, pat On Feb 14, 2010, at 3:01 AM, rootsweb-help-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Message: 1 Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:56:54 -0500 From: Richard & Pat <richpat@wideopenwest.com> Subject: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Revamping old website To: ROOTSWEB-HELP@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <F7668244-6134-4C4D-A20B-0A6438F28270@wideopenwest.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 11:04:07 -0500 From: Lesley L Shockey <lesshockey@wildblue.net> Subject: Re: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Revamping old website To: rootsweb-help@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <4B76CD77.1000908@wildblue.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Pat, I would create a sub folder that is not linked to your old site and upload it there for testing.

I also have a question about an old website. How can I get rid of it all at once, or must it be taken down page by page? We have approximately 2000 pages on the old one, and people keep getting to the old site, which hasn't been updated in 2 years. The new one is working perfectly, and we're updating it at least weekly, which means people going to the old site are getting cheated out of the new additions.

Hi Dennis, The way that I have done this type of thing in the past was to start the Mapquest program then enter the parameters and after bring it on the screen I would copy the URL and past into the Web Page program. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Milan&state=MI &address=210+E+Michigan+Ave&zipcode=48160-1367&country=US &latitude=42.08938&longitude=-83.67975&geocode=ADDRESS To break this statement down we have: 1. The program to be called = http://www.mapquest.com/maps 2. parameter 1 name is ?city= 3. parameter 1 value is Milan 4. parameter 2 name is &state= 5. parameter 2 value is MI While you create the HTML program using HTML table code the end user does not see fields on the screen. Therefore you will need to hard code the program name and variable names and values in each of your statement. Since I don't know where your mapping program is located (on the Web or on your home computer) I don't know how well this type of code will work. I haven't been keeping up with current HTML coding changes and there may be easier ways but this is the concept of passing variable data between programs. But this should be a starting point for you. If you have any more questions I will try to answer.

Yours is a nice-looking site ... and, I'd thoroughly enjoy browsing some of your member's sites for possible links to my various lines. Now, I found the table but couldn't locate the map ... if you add <A href="# "> </A> to each of your table listings, could you add <A name=" "></A> to each of the map positions?
