Linking to Mapquest

[jgsresearch]

OK, I see lots of websites that have recently giving the option to "Map It," which automatically links an address to MapQuest, and displays the location.
Does anyone know how to configure this? I have the hyperlink to the MapQuest site, just not sure how to set it up so the desired address is automatically displayed on the map.

I've never done this before, but I just copied that long URL string from my browser's Address bar (which was created by MapQuest based on my street address, city, state, zipcode lookup) then pasted it into the link dialog in FrontPage. See if this link works for you:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.ad...zipcode=20876&homesubmit.x=46&homesubmit.y=11

If it does, you should be able to do the same thing for the street address that you want on your site.

Sure, no problem. Good programmers are always welcome here!

By the way, I just noticed that the MapQuest URL scheme is documented at
