Problem with put URL and websites

[Scott Rossi]

It appears that MapQuest is relying on some kind of JavaScript component
that it's not finding when retrieving the URL from within Revolution which,
if correct, is why you're getting empty data between the tags.

I would continue experimenting with RevBrowser, but otherwise you may have
to find a different mapping service.  I briefly looked at maps.google.com
The basic service didn't seem to offer ZIP-code-based directions, but I
didn't dig very deep.  There might be some alternative service/setting
buried there.
