Re: Virtual Earth Popup Styles

Ok i see what you are getting at. The code shown is what is generated by the default VE pushpin rollover. For most situations you simply want to overwrite some style properties. You could also completly replace the pushpin popup with your own custom popup, which is what your asking. I did not explain that in this article.
My preference is to modify the existing popup as all the hard work of positioning etc has been done for you. I simply ignore the title and use the description to make a nice layout.
To change the width you simply put the line of code in your css ensuring your css is referenced after the VE control.

Re: Virtual Earth Popup Styles

Is there a simple way of ensuring that my custom css is referenced after that from the VE control?
VE control (v4) always adds link to the internal css files via Javascript as a last elements in head, so no matter where I place my links those VE internal styles are loaded.
