trying to puzzle out a very cool/odd issue with Google<BR>> Maps and I'd
like some input. We all know that the guys at Google are level<BR>> 73
wizards, but I can't even begin to imagine how they accomplish this one.
<BR>><BR>> Try this walk-through if you have a moment and care to try
to solve it. By<BR>> the way, it only appears to work in
IE.<BR>><BR>> 1) Visit <A
href="http://maps.google.com/">http://maps.google.com/ </A><BR>> 2) Add
this page to your bookmarks, then view it's properties. It should be<BR>>
titled "Google Maps", and it's URL should be <A
href="http://maps.google.com/">http://maps.google.com/</A>.<BR>> 3)
Delete this favorite. <BR>> 4) Next, do a search for something (your own
address for example), then<BR>> immediately add it as a favorite. I
search for my office address (7003<BR>> Chadwick Dr, 37027). Then add it
as a bookmark.<BR>> 5) The new bookmark's title is "7003 Chadwick Dr,
37027 - Google Maps" and <BR>> it's URL is the same as before "<A
href="http://maps.google.com/">http://maps.google.com/</A>".<BR>><BR>>
Yet, when I visit another website, <A href="http://cnn.com">cnn.com</A> for
example, then click the <BR>> bookmark, it takes me straight to the map
location for my office.<BR>><BR>> I can even close my browser window
completely and it does the same thing.<BR>><BR>> Interestingly enough,
when I click the bookmark, it loads the very front <BR>> page of Google
Maps briefly before changing over to my bookmarked search<BR>>
result.<BR>><BR>> One thing to note, my co-worker and I thought that
Google might somehow be<BR>> reading the title of the bookmark, but it
doesn't seem to pass that <BR>> information in any way. I decided to be
sneaky and change the title of the<BR>> bookmark to my home address to
test and it didn't work. It still loaded my<BR>> office
address.<BR>><BR>> So my question is, does anyone have a clue how
Google accomplishes this? <BR>> Because it would be perfect for this site
I'm building using AJAX.<BR><BR><BR>Sounds like a cookie to me... but that
would be boring:-)<BR><BR><BR>--
