This is undoubtably a DonB question, but is there any easy way to embed a Datastorm Map into a web page? We can link to the map showing our location from our website, but being able to embed the map (kind of like we can embed a Google map) would be cool.

Just wondering if it's possible.

Thanks

Embedding can have different connotations; having never looked at embedding a Google map I don't know what they do. Since the Datastorm maps are static images with unchanging file names you could just reference it like I'm doing here:

 -

One of the problems is getting browsers to not cache the image. On the map pages I do that by adding a ?time at the end - my server ignores that, but it makes it a different image as far as the browser is concerned.

Thanks, Don - I'll give it a try. Didn't realize that the image would always have the same name no matter where we move.
