Also, I just checked and the statepage and statebox templates both include the zoom level variable now. I don't know if you added that or if I did, but it should be all set in the future. What was messed up on the maps?

I saw something was messed up with the maps across the site, too, but I couldn't fix it because I've forgotten the login info to update the quikmaps. Could you post it again? I'll then add the areas I've mapped recently (and try to update the # of areas mapped on the state pages and front page, as well—something I've been remiss in doing, sorry).

I'll remove it.

It didn't want to obey the lat/lon, though it would obey the zoom level (which differs from the main map as well). I ended up getting it to work only by creating separate maps. I was lazy and didn't remove the lat/lon items. If they're working for you without separate maps, then maybe I just didn't do a good enough job of clearing my cache when testing. I find that Firefox tries a lot harder than I ever would have expected to cache things, often with results that are not what you'd expect to happen just due to caching.

I also didn't know if I put the code in the right spot—there's also a "caption" item in the statebox. What's that intended for?

Creating a new map for each state in Quikmaps was going to be a big problem because whenever a new map was created, both the state map and the main GEOSAP map were going to have to be updated. In addition, creating that many maps on the quikmaps account would be unwieldy. The updating problem would have led to the map for a state not being created until the state was finished, which would have been disappointing. However, when you created the quikmapslat and quikmapslong system, you solved the problem. You prob. know, but all we have to do now is zoom the main GEOSAP map to state view which we want (will require some checking because the quikmaps viewer is larger than the statebox viewing pane), copy the map number for the main geosap map into the quikmapsnumber field, then copy the lat and long numbers from the bottom of the map viewing page into their respective fields, and then save the main geosap map. This results in a statebox map which shows only the state, and a main view on the home page which shows everything. If you already know this, great job, and thanks alot!
