Hi

I'm hoping to open a small popup box/window of some sort over the map as an onclick event to clicking a marker.  The window will show info/images from SQL Server pertaining to that particular marker and essentially act as a larger, more flexible map infowindow - no browser tools other than a close button etc.

In the same fashion, should a user click on the map to add a new marker and info for that place, I'd like to open a similar small window over the map with a form allowing server side input to be saved (including a postback so fileuploads save).

The info and forms work ok in divs next to the map, I just want them now as popups over the map to unclutter the map screen.  What's the best way to open such a window which will display over this map?  I'm not particularly knowledgable with the AJAX tools and your forums suggest modal popups don't work great either.

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Chris,

I have a similar need and posted it before I saw your reply but in my case, I can't use the modal popup because the underlying map is not to be dimmed as it is with an ajax modal popup.  See my post titled Semi Transparent
