the DK marker icon is too large at 1772x1772 pixels.
The browser is wasting CPU resources resizing it every time it gets
displayed.
create a new DK icon at the displayed size of 30x30 pixels.

this string contains double quotes. These need to be escaped inside
javascript string literals.
For coldfusion try the JSStringFormat function

something like
<cfset field3js = JSStringFormat(#field3#)>
var infowindow1html#id# = "#field3js#";

P.S. I imagine that you already know this, but when I did use the js
code from the Google web page, I got a message saying the the js
function split() has been deprecated.

Thanks again. I will try both ways if I can - using a static map and
using js. If I succeed with both, then I can choose which way I
prefer to do it.
I had already found the script that Robby provided, but it didn't work
for me. Perhaps I did not have it in the right place. I will keep on
experimenting. (And perhaps read up some more on js.)

Sensor?

What is the sensor used for?
How could I find the users location so I can place the user in the
center of the map when page loads?
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(#####, #####), 13);
Thanks

You'll have to write one then. I do not know how you might store
images in a MySQL database, binaries I suppose, best go ask in a MySQL
forum. I'm not sure what you'd do with them once you'd extracted them
from the db ; perhaps you could stick them in a temporary file and
pass the url to the client. I do not think there is a way to force-

I've been through this site before, but its not what i'm looking for,
I need a query or php script that will upload the icons from the MYSQL
database so then they are used as the custom icons,
instead of teh default ones, but not used with XML, if you get what I
mean?

No, you will have to remember them for yourself as you add them.
People commonly use a global array for this.
Example with GMarkers, polys can be handled in the same way -
