I am currently host this site at http://dreamhost.com. Yahoo offers webhosting as well at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/. Those are the two I would recommend, but there are a lot of other choises out there that might be better and / or cheaper.

I would appreciate if you could let me know some cheap hosting service that would allow me to do mashup in one of the ways you suggested.

Thank you very much.

It seems like you are missing the proxy. This is an additional .php file that you need to copy to your server. Without it, the request fails. Try create a file called yproxy.php in the same directory as your html page, and put the following in it.

Another thing you could do is to have a look at the stuff i posted earlier today http://www.theurer.cc/blog/2005/12/15/web-services-json-dump-your-proxy/ which does not need the extra file.

Does that work for you?

I just got going with these Yahoo mashups but I’m nowhere in your league for coding expertise. I downloaded your ‘How to build a Maps-Mashup’. The map zooms and can be dragged around but it won’t do the lookups. Yahoo’s examples all worked fine on my computer after I added my assigned ID so I’m writing to ask what the problem could be?

Thanks, Vince
