I am trying to create a link to a MapQuest page. What I did is enter the cross section, city, zip and located the place. When I try to copy the address from the toolbar and creat a link of it on my webpage, the link does not work. I keep getting cannot find address messages. If I manually paste the link into the address bar it works. What is going on here?

do you have to use mapquest? if you use yahoo's map thingy, there's a link that says "Create a link to this map on your website"

Duh! Thanks.

I also did some reading on MapQuest's site, and they say that the link should not be opened in a new window, which it does on my site...so I guess I have to get around that somehow.

Thank you again,
