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).

My object is to allower a user to either click on the cemetery name or an icon near it and have a map appear the shows where the cemetery is located. I have the Lat and Long. in the cemetery table. The HTML for the map shows how it is used. I need to figure out how to transfer the info from the table to the map without fat fingeringine it in for each cemetery.

Denny, This may do what you want. It should be fairly easy to use the Kompozer html editor to create a link URL like this: http://maps.google.com/?q=N38+51.482,W077+41.111(Antioch+Baptist) Unfortunately google likes plus signs instead of spaces but copy and paste should be pretty workable for creating the links. No javascript needed if you don't want to embed the map in your page.
