[OpenLayers-Users] Fwd: design question: how to geocode multiple dynamic "city, country"?

[zach cruise]

thanks steve.

if i use openlayers to do this, then i need lat/lon or get lat/lon via
ajax, as you said (openlayers would make it easier to add custom
pop-up text).

or i just select from a table of places.
