I know you were just kidding, but I wanted to let you know that I have
finally accomplished exactly what I wanted. The only thing left to do is to
build it. No pop-up window either!

I found, in another newsgroup, how javascript can obtain the URL. So instead
of having a pop-up window and sending arguments to it, I link to a html file
and include the argument in the URL, such as http://mypage.com?5. The
javascript code reads the value "5" and positions the map to the 5th office
based on its array of x/y coordinates.

That javascript command is:
<script type="text/javascript">
var city=location.search.substring(1);
// ...


</script>

Thanks again for all your pointers, I am happy!
