Hi Other John! :)

I think I have the concept down... I was just throwing out ideas for  
including the page wether it was just javascript, or a complete page  
into my other page (The one I actually want it to display on)

This is all that is in my javascript file right now:

       var gmarkers = [];
       var htmls = [];
       var to_htmls = [];
       var from_htmls = [];
       var i=0;

       // functions that open the directions forms
       function tohere(i) {
         gmarkers[i].openInfoWindowHtml(to_htmls[i]);
       }
       function fromhere(i) {
         gmarkers[i].openInfoWindowHtml(from_htmls[i]);
       }

       // Check to see if this browser can run the Google API
       // Display the map, with some controls and set the initial  
location

function load() {

       if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

	  var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
             map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
             map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

       // Set up markers with info windows

           GDownloadUrl("phpsqlajax_genxml3.php", function(data) {
             var xml = GXml.parse(data);
             var markers =  
xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");

             for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {

                 var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
                 var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
                 var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
                 var summary = markers[i].getAttribute("summary");
                 var description =  
markers[i].getAttribute("description");
                 var point = new  
GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),

parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));

                 var marker = createMarker(point, name, address, type,  
summary);
                 map.addOverlay(marker);
                 map.setCenter(new  
GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),

parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"))), 11);

             }
         });

         // A function to create the marker and set up the event window
             function createMarker(point, name, html, address,  
summary) {
                 var marker = new GMarker(point);

                 html = 'Name: ' + name + '<br /> Address: ' + address  
+ '<br /> Summary: ' +summary;

         // The info window version with the "to here" form open
                 to_htmls[i] = html + '<br>Directions: <b>To here</b>  
- <a href="javascript:fromhere(' + i + ')">From here</a>' +
            '<br>Start address:<form action="http://maps.google.com/ 
maps" method="get" target="_blank">' +
            '<input type="text" SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=48 name="saddr"  
id="saddr" value="" /><br>' +
            '<INPUT value="Get Directions" TYPE="SUBMIT">' +
            '<input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="' + point.lat()  
+ ',' + point.lng() +
                   // "(" + name + ")" +
            '"/>';
         // The info window version with the "to here" form open
                 from_htmls[i] = html + '<br>Directions: <a  
href="javascript:tohere(' + i + ')">From here</a> - <b>To here</b>' +
            '<br>End address:<form action="http://maps.google.com/ 
maps" method="get" target="_blank">' +
            '<input type="text" SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=48 name="daddr"  
id="daddr" value="" /><br>' +
            '<INPUT value="Get Directions" TYPE="SUBMIT">' +
            '<input type="hidden" name="saddr" value="' + point.lat()  
+ ',' + point.lng() +
                   // "(" + name + ")" +
            '"/>';
         // The inactive version of the direction info
                 html = html + '<br>Directions: <a  
href="javascript:tohere('+i+')">To here</a> - <a  
href="javascript:fromhere('+i+')">From here</a>';

         GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
             marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
         });

         gmarkers[i] = marker;
         htmls[i] = html;
         i++;
         return marker;
       }

       }
       }

Thanks for looking! :)
