A design question

[jagathprakash]

Hi all,

I am trying to build something similar to wikimapia, the only
difference being that I do not want a server and only I can update the
locations.
I want to store the map coordinates in some web -file ( I am currently
looking at google spreadsheet as it gives me a nice CSV file) and
display them on my map.

If I go ahead with the google spreadsheet, how do I get and parse the
CSV.

If I go ahead with storing it in XML format, where can I easily do the
same, please remember I do not have a server and further I would like
the user of the page to be able to update the coordinate-file in the
future, which is very easy using collaborative google spreadsheets,
while not very easy if done with an XML on my googlepages homepage.


Me being a novice in javascript any code snippet will be very useful.

Thanks,
Prakash.
