Urinary Tract Infections in Children
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic is about urinary tract infections in children. For information about these infections in teens and adults, see the topic Urinary Tract Infections in Teens and Adults.
What are urinary tract infections?
The urinary tract is the part of the body that makes urine and carries it out of the body. It includes the bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs (called bacteria) get into the urinary tract, they can cause an infection.
How serious are the infections in children?
Urinary infections in children usually go away quickly if you treat them right away. But infections that aren't treated right away could cause permanent damage. The kidneys may not work well, which could lead to kidney failure. Infants and young children are at extra risk for kidney damage from infections.
Urinary infections also can lead to a serious infection throughout the body called sepsis. Problems from a urinary infection are more likely to happen in babies born too soon, in newborns, and in infants who have something blocking the flow of urine.
What causes the infections in children?
Germs that live in the large intestine and are in stool can get in the urethra. This is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Then germs can get into the bladder and kidneys.
What are the symptoms?
Babies and young children may not have the most common symptoms, such as pain or burning when they urinate. Also, they can't tell you what they feel. In a baby or a young child, look for:
- A fever not caused by the flu or another known illness.
- Urine that has a strange smell.
- The child not being hungry.
- Vomiting.
- The child acting fussy.
Older children are more likely to have common symptoms, such as:
- Pain or burning when they urinate.
- Needing to urinate often.
- Loss of bladder control.
- Red, pink, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine.
- Pain in the back on one side (flank pain) or lower belly pain.
How are the infections diagnosed?
The doctor will give your child a physical exam and ask about his or her symptoms. Your child also will have lab tests to check for germs in the urine, such as a urinalysis and a urine culture. It takes 1 to 2 days to get the results of a urine culture, so many doctors will prescribe medicine to fight the infection without waiting for the results. This is because a child's symptoms and the urinalysis may be enough to show an infection.
After your child gets better, the doctor may have him or her tested to find out if there is a problem with the urinary tract. For example, urine might flow backward from the bladder into the kidneys. Problems like this can make a child more likely to get an infection in the bladder or kidneys.
How are they treated?
Your child will take antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. Give this medicine to your child as your doctor says. Do not stop it just because your child feels better. He or she needs to take all the medicine to get better. The number of days a child will need to take the medicine depends on the illness, the child's age, and the type of antibiotic.
You can help your child get better at home. Have your child drink extra fluids to flush out the germs. Remind your older child to go to the bathroom often and to empty the bladder each time.
Call the doctor if your child isn't feeling better within 2 days after starting the medicine. Your doctor may give your child a different medicine. It is important to treat urinary infections quickly in children to prevent other serious health problems. Sometimes a baby younger than 3 months may need to get medicine through a vein (IV) and stay in the hospital for a while. A child who is too sick to take medicine by mouth or has trouble fighting infections also may need to stay in the hospital.
Frequently Asked Questions

Being diagnosed: |
Getting treatment: |
Most urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and travel up the urinary tract. Bacteria that normally live in the large intestine and are present in stool (feces) are the most common cause of infection. Sometimes bacteria traveling through the blood or lymphatic system to the urinary tract are the cause of kidney or bladder infections.
The ways that bacteria buildup can occur include:
- Some children may not properly wipe their bottoms after a bowel movement. And bacteria may get into the urethra and cause a UTI.
- Constipation.
- Not completely emptying the bladder. This can cause bacteria to build up in urine.
Problems with the structure or function of the urinary tract commonly contribute to UTIs in infants and young children. Problems that limit the body's ability to eliminate urine completely include:
- A structural problem of the bladder that allows urine to flow backward to the kidneys (vesicoureteral reflux).
- An obstruction, such as a kidney stone, that blocks, slows, or disrupts the normal flow of urine through the urinary tract (obstructions in the urinary tract).
- Other abnormalities of the urinary tract.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children may not cause obvious urinary symptoms. Symptoms of a UTI in an infant or young child may include:
- Fever. This may be the only symptom in infants.
- Irritability.
- Lack of appetite.
- Failure to gain weight or develop normally.
- Foul-smelling urine.
- Crying during urination.
- Vomiting or diarrhea.
In an older child with a UTI, symptoms are usually easier to recognize and may include:
- Pain or burning when urinating.
- Urge to urinate frequently but usually passing only small amounts of urine.
- Loss of bladder control, new bed-wetting, or other changes in urination habits.
- Pain in the lower abdomen.
- Reddish, pinkish, or cloudy urine.
- Foul-smelling urine.
- Pain in the back just below the rib cage, on one side (flank pain).
A doctor's evaluation can determine whether a UTI or another condition is causing your child's symptoms.
What Happens
In a urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteria usually enter the urinary tract through the urethra. They may then travel up the urinary tract and infect the bladder (cystitis) and the kidneys (pyelonephritis). Most UTIs in children clear up quickly with proper antibiotic treatment.
The biggest concern over UTIs in children is that they can cause permanent kidney damage and scarring. Repeated scarring can lead to high blood pressure and reduced kidney function, including kidney failure. Infants and young children seem to be at higher risk for this complication.
The risk of irreversible kidney damage makes early medical evaluation and treatment of UTIs in infants and young children very important. Unfortunately, detecting UTIs in infants and young children can be difficult. Unlike symptoms in older children and adults, symptoms in the very young can be vague and inconsistent.
Serious short-term complications of UTIs are unusual but do occur. They include an abscess in the urinary tract, acute kidney failure, and widespread infection (sepsis), which can be life-threatening. These complications are more likely in premature infants and newborns and in infants with urinary tract obstructions.
Recurrent UTIs
Infants and young children often develop another UTI during the months after their first UTI. If an infection comes back (recurs), it usually happens within the same year as the first UTI.
Recurrent UTIs in a child can mean that there is a problem with the structure or function of the urinary tract. Because repeated infections increase the risk of permanent kidney damage, your child's doctor will evaluate and monitor any structural or functional problems. In some cases, your child may need surgery.
What Increases Your Risk
Factors that increase a child's risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) include:
- Abnormalities of the urinary tract, including kidney stones and other urinary obstructions. Structural or functional problems that limit the kidneys' or the bladder's ability to eliminate urine properly can increase the risk of UTIs. These problems may be present at birth or may develop soon after.
- Infrequent urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, or constipation. These patterns are common during toilet training and make it easier for bacteria to build up in the urine.
- An uncircumcised penis. The foreskin can trap bacteria, which can then enter the urinary tract and cause infection.
- Catheterization, which is used in a hospital when a child is unable to urinate on his or her own. Bacteria can enter the catheter and start an infection.
- Previous UTIs. The risk for future infections increases with each additional infection.
- History of UTI or the backward flow of urine from the bladder into the kidneys (vesicoureteral reflux) in a parent or sibling.
Infants and young children who develop UTIs often have vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). In most cases it does not raise a child's risk of UTIs, but it could raise the risk of kidney damage caused by infection.
When To Call a Doctor
Urinary tract infections (UTI) in infants and young children need early evaluation and treatment. Call your doctor if your child has:
- Unexplained fever.
- Vomiting.
- Urine that looks pink, red, brown, or cloudy or is foul-smelling.
- Burning pain with urination.
- Frequent need to urinate without being able to pass much urine.
- Pain in the back just below the rib cage, on one side of the body (flank pain).
- Vaginal discharge with urinary symptoms.
- Symptoms similar to those of a previous UTI.
Call the doctor if your child isn't feeling better within 48 hours after starting an antibiotic.
Watchful Waiting
Watchful waiting is a wait-and-see approach. If you get better on your own, you won't need treatment. If you get worse, you and your doctor will decide what to do next.
Watchful waiting is not appropriate if you suspect your child has a urinary tract infection. Untreated UTIs in children can lead to permanent kidney damage, high blood pressure, and other serious complications.
Who To See
The following health professionals can treat UTIs in children:
- Nurse practitioner
- Physician assistant
- General practitioner
- Family medicine physician
- Pediatrician
- Urologist
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Exams and Tests
Initial tests
If your child has symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI), the doctor's initial evaluation will probably include:
- A medical history and physical exam.
- Urinalysis, which measures different parts of urine to help identify a UTI.
- Urine culture, which detects and identifies the bacteria that are causing a UTI.
If the doctor suspects that your child has a UTI, a urinalysis will help point to a diagnosis. A urine culture can confirm the diagnosis and identify what is causing the infection. But the results usually are not available for a couple of days. Rather than delaying treatment to wait for the results of the urine culture, the doctor probably will start your child on antibiotics if your child's symptoms, history, and urinalysis make the presence of a UTI likely.
One of several methods may be used to collect the urine sample.
- Older children may urinate into a container.
- In
babies and young children, the doctor may:
- Insert a catheter through the urethra and into the bladder to collect urine.
- Collect urine by attaching a bag around the child's genitals until the child urinates. The risk of having other substances get into (contaminate) the urine sample is extremely high with this method.
- Insert a needle through the abdomen directly into the bladder (suprapubic aspiration) to obtain the sample.
The doctor may do other tests if your child has a UTI and:
- Does not improve after 4 days of antibiotic treatment.
- Has a known abnormality of the urinary tract or a history of certain kidney or bladder problems that could make the infection harder to treat.
- May be infected with unusual bacteria that won't respond to the usual treatment.
- Shows signs of kidney failure.
These other tests may include kidney (renal) ultrasound to find out the cause of blocked urine flow in a kidney and cystourethrogram (also called cystogram) to detect obstructions and vesicoureteral reflux.
Tests after a child's first UTI
Some doctors recommend tests to check the urinary tract after the first UTI in an infant or young child. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends evaluation after a first UTI for children ages 2 months to 2 years in particular. But these tests may not be able to help a doctor decide what treatment is needed.
The most common tests after an infant's or young child's first UTI are:
- Kidney (renal) ultrasound. The doctor may review a fetal ultrasound that was done during the mother's third trimester of pregnancy, if available.
- Cystourethrogram, which is an X-ray test that takes pictures of your child's bladder and urethra during urination.
The purpose of doing these tests after treatment for your child's UTI is to reduce the risk of future kidney damage and related problems, such as high blood pressure and kidney failure. These tests can identify vesicoureteral reflux, abnormalities of the urinary tract, and other conditions that may make your child more prone to kidney infections. If the tests identify any of these conditions, the doctor can monitor and give preventive treatment, if needed, to your child. The doctor will do these tests at the earliest convenient time after your child's UTI improves.
The doctor may do a kidney scan (renal scintigram) to evaluate persistent kidney infection or to evaluate kidney scarring or damage caused by previous infection.
During the year after your child's first UTI, the doctor may do periodic urine cultures to screen for UTI infections. But doctors do not agree on the effectiveness of follow-up urine cultures.1
Treatment Overview
Antibiotic medicine and home care are effective in treating most urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants and children. The main goal of treatment is to prevent kidney damage and its short- and long-term complications by eliminating the infection quickly and completely. Early evaluation and treatment are very important. Do not delay calling a doctor if you think your baby or young child may have a UTI.
Home treatment includes:
- Having your child drink extra fluids to flush bacteria out of the bladder.
- Reminding your child to urinate often and to empty the bladder each time.
Initial treatment
Infants and young children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) need early treatment to prevent kidney damage. Your doctor is likely to base the initial treatment decision on your child's symptoms and urinalysis results rather than waiting for the results of a urine culture.
Treatment for most children with UTIs is oral antibiotics and home care. If your child is younger than 3 months, is too nauseated or sick to take oral medicines, or has an impaired immune system, a brief hospital stay and a short course of intravenous (IV) antibiotics may be needed. After your child's fever and other symptoms improve and he or she is feeling better, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics. The number of days a child will need to take these medicines depends on the illness, the child's age, and the type of antibiotic.
Infants and young children being treated for their first UTI need follow-up evaluation after the infection is gone. Tests may include an ultrasound of the kidneys and a cystourethrogram to identify vesicoureteral reflux and other structural or functional problems with the urinary tract that could increase the child's risk for repeat infections and kidney damage. The doctor may do periodic urine cultures to screen for repeat infection during the first year after a child's first UTI.
Treatment if the condition gets worse or recurs
If your child's urinary tract infection (UTI) does not improve after treatment with antibiotics, he or she needs further evaluation and may need more antibiotic treatment. Your child may have a structural problem that is making the infection difficult to treat. Or the cause of the infection may be different from the types of bacteria that usually cause UTIs.
If the infection spreads and affects kidney function or causes widespread infection (sepsis), your child may be hospitalized. These complications are rare, but they can be very serious. Children with impaired immune systems, untreated urinary tract obstructions, and other conditions that affect the kidneys or bladder are at higher risk for complications.
Recurrent UTIs increase the risk of long-term kidney damage and high blood pressure. The doctor may prescribe preventive antibiotic therapy after treatment for a first UTI if your child has a structural problem, such as vesicoureteral reflux, that increases the risk of additional infections, or if your child has more than two UTIs in a 6-month period. Doctors disagree about whether long-term use of low-dose antibiotics can safely prevent UTIs in children. Antibiotic resistance is one concern.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are hard to prevent in children who seem to get them easily. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent repeat infection while waiting for test results after your child's first UTI. If test results reveal abnormalities of the urinary tract that raise the risk for repeated infections, the doctor may recommend long-term antibiotic treatment.
Some evidence suggests that breast-feeding may help prevent UTIs during the first 6 months of life.2, 3
After learning to use the toilet, some children may not empty their bladder often enough. Without regular bladder emptying, which flushes out the germs in urine, children may be more likely to get a UTI. Encourage a schedule of bladder emptying to help lower this risk. Offer your child drinks (such as water) throughout the day. Drinking enough fluids fills the bladder and can help your child empty the bladder more often.
Constipation can also put a child at risk of a UTI. Regular toileting habits and a nonconstipating diet are the best ways to prevent constipation. For more information see the topics Constipation, Age 11 and Younger and Constipation, Age 12 and Older.
Early diagnosis and early treatment are the most important steps in preventing UTI-caused kidney damage. Periodic urine cultures during the first year after a child's first UTI and for children at risk for recurrent UTIs can help detect infections before they do serious damage.
Home Treatment
Starting home treatment at the first signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) in your child may prevent the problem from getting worse and help clear up your child's infection.
- Encourage—but do not force—your child to drink extra fluids as soon as you notice the symptoms and for the next 24 hours. These fluids will help dilute the urine, flush bacteria out of the bladder, and decrease irritation. Do not give your child caffeinated or carbonated beverages, which can irritate the bladder.
- Encourage your child to urinate often and to empty his or her bladder each time.
Note: Remember that home treatment is not a substitute for professional care and evaluation. If you think your child may have a UTI, a doctor should see him or her right away.
Oral antibiotic medicine usually is effective in treating urinary tract infections (UTIs). In many cases, if the symptoms and urinalysis suggest a UTI, the doctor will start medicine without waiting for the results of a urine culture.
The doctor may give intravenous (IV) antibiotics if your baby is:
- Younger than 3 months.
- Too ill or nauseated to take oral medicine.
- Very sick with a severe kidney infection.
The doctor will stop the IV medicine and begin oral medicine treatment after your child is stabilized and feeling better.
Preventive antibiotics
To prevent kidney damage that can result from recurrent infection, the doctor may prescribe long-term treatment with antibiotics for children who are at risk for repeated infections. The doctor may consider preventive antibiotics:
- While waiting for the results of tests done after treatment for a child's first UTI.
- If tests done after treatment for a child's first UTI reveal a structural problem with the urinary tract, such as vesicoureteral reflux, that increases the child's risk for recurrent UTIs.
- For children who have frequent UTIs, with or without an abnormality of the urinary tract.
Preventive treatment may last from several months to several years. Experts disagree about the best approach. Some doctors believe that long-term use of low-dose antibiotics can safely prevent UTIs in children.4 But the long-term effects need more study. Some doctors are becoming more hesitant about prescribing antibiotics for long-term use because of increasing concern about the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Medication Choices
Medicines that treat UTIs in children include antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause UTIs.
What To Think About
Give your child the antibiotics as directed. Do not stop using them just because your child feels better. Your child needs to take the full course of medicine. Your child may begin to feel better soon after starting the medicine. But if you stop giving your child the medicine too soon, the infection may return or get worse. Also, not taking the full course of medicine encourages the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. This makes antibiotics less effective and future bacterial infections more difficult to treat.
Surgery is not used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. If there is a problem with the structure of the urinary tract that is causing frequent, severe infections and increasing the child's risk of long-term complications, the doctor may consider surgery to correct the problem. For instance, children with severe vesicoureteral reflux may benefit from surgery. For more information, see the topic Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR).
Other Treatment
There is no other treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children at this time.

It's never been easier to get your kids active and having fun with tennis. With equipment sized right for age and ability, and programs just for kids throughout the country, tennis is ready—and waiting—for your child!
Tennis sized right for age and ability let's kids play on shorter courts, with smaller racquets, and slower, lower-bouncing balls. Kids play tennis made just for them, so that they have a great time with the game and want to keep playing and improving.
We'll guide you through the many ways kids can get started in the game, play and compete, so that they can have a great time with their friends:
• Family-focused Tennis Festivals, jamborees and events are hosted all over the country at local schools, parks, youth centers and tennis facilities. These events feature tennis games and activities that are easy and welcoming for everyone, even if you've never held a racquet. They're designed to make your family's first experience with the sport a memorable—and fun—one.
• Kids have the opportunity to try tennis for free or at a low cost in school and after-school programs like Kids' Tennis Clubs, TGA Premier Youth Tennis and National Junior Tennis and Learning.

HERE Maps API - How to create a tabbed Infobubble
This article explains how to use CSS styling to modify an Infobubble. Initially a simple change of size and color scheme is discussed, the article then moves on to more advanced topics such as how to create a usable, tabbed Infobubble through combining CSS styling with DOM event handling.
Contents |
The Infobubble is a map component which is used to associate text with a particular point on the map. When it is displayed, it appears as a speech bubble, with its tail pointing towards a specified location. The location of the content box of the Infobubble will shift around the anchor point to best display the content on the map canvas. In other words, the Infobubble content will move either above/below, or left/right of the anchor point as the map is scanned.
A standard Nokia Map Infobubble is black, with white text as shown below:
Simple CSS Styling
The InfoBubble has several options associated with it. The most useful of these is the defaultWidth. By defining the defaultWidth, the content within the Infobubble is wrapped beyond a fixed size. This would be useful when displaying a Map with an Infobubble on mobile devices for example. The content of the Infobubble can either be plain text or HTML. If the Infobubble contains HTML content, and this HTML describes elements which have a greater width than the defaultWidth , the width of the InfoBubble is stretched to be able to display the specified content. To define a defaultWidth use the code below:
var infoBubbles = new nokia.maps.map.component.InfoBubbles();
infoBubbles.options.defaultWidth = 400;
For variety and personal preference, you may wish to alter the default color scheme. All of the Infobubble content is held within a
 element, so it is possible to restyle the content by applying a CSS style to the class.
.nm_bubble_content{ |
The text has been altered to black and the background is white. A single pixel border has been added to the InfoBubble to stop the text from melting into the background of the map. Note that the tail of the Infobubble cannot be styled, and will always be black.
Tabbed Infobubbles
If an InfoBubble contains a lot of information, and the size of the map is restricted, it may be that not all of content of the InfoBubble can be displayed at once without scrolling. This can be seen in the examples shown above, where the bottom of the Infobubble is "below the fold". In this case, and especially if the Infobubble contains information which can be split thematically into parts, it may be preferable to display the content in a tabbed control. Although there is currently no instance of an actual tabbed Infobubble within the standard map components, it is possible to create a TabbedInfobubble component through CSS styling, and the creation of a single DOM event
Styling Tabbed Infobubbles
Styling must be added to each of the HTML elements so that the desired effect of a tabbed dialog is achieved.
Structure of an HTML Tabbed Dialog
A tabbed dialog consists of two parts :
- A list of tab headers which are displayed in a row. All entries in the list are displayed.
- The tabbed content area, where only the content of the currently selected tab is visible.
An outline of the HTML can be seen below:

Header of the first tab

Header of the second tab

Header of the third tab

 Content of the first tab

 Content of the second tab

 Content of the third tab

CSS of the tab headers
Since the tab headers are presented as an un-ordered list, they are contained within a
 element. This must be styled to shift the position of the
 element such that it lies just above the main InfoBubble. The offset required must be judged by eye, and the magic number used here is 39 pixels, which places the
 above the close button [X] on the right-hand side. The list-style-type: none removes any bullet points preceding the header text on each tab; the remaining styles space the tabs and align look with the "black-on-white" InfoBubble defined above.
ul.nm_tabnav { /* general settings */
position: relative;
top: -39px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0px -1em 1em 0px;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 3px 10px 0.1em 10px;
Each tab header is held within a
 element. We want to make sure that the tab headers display in a single row, and therefore the
 needs to be styled display: inline. The background and border matches the InfoBubble styling, so that the text of tab header is not displayed over an invisible background. The colour and style of the text may be altered as desired, but there needs to be some way to distinguish between the currently selected tab and the others. Therefore the currently selected tab is given its own styling, as well as a slightly altered bottom-border so that the tag merges into the main InfoBubble.
ul.nm_tabnav li {
display: inline;
border: 0.1em solid black;
position: relative;
top: 1px;
padding: 3px 1em;
/* You can add your own styling here */
ul.nm_tabnav li.nm_tab_current { /* do not change */
border-bottom: 0.2em solid white; /* set border COLOR as desired */
CSS of the tabbed content area
The CSS of the tabbed content area is very simple. The first
 element is made visible by applying the display: block styling. The second and subsequent
 elements are made invisible using the display: none styling. The CSS styling here uses the plus syntax make all
 elements preceded by a
 element invisible. display: none means that not only is the element invisible, but that it does not take up any space on the screen.
.nm_bubble_content > div{
display: block;
.nm_bubble_content > div + div{
display: none;
Enabling the tabbed dialog to respond to DOM Events
The Nokia Maps API already contains library functions for attaching a function to a DOM event. The following order of initialisation needs to occur when the Infobubble is attached to the mapDisplay
- The Page object needs to be initialised to query if DOM events are supported.
- An EventTarget initialised and fed an existing DOM object to wire up the event handler
- Finally the function holding the dialog tabbing code can be added as an event listener using the addListener() method.
It should be noted that the only way to identify the correct
 holding the InfoBubble text is through its style class. This can be done using the document.getElementsByClassName() method, however not all browsers support this. In particular older versions of Internet Explorer lack native document.getElementsByClassName() support. In order to overcome this, a standard getElementsByClassName() shim must be added to ensure the largest range of cross-browser support. The
 is injected into the DOM when the map is intialised, so it is necessary to wait until the map has been created before wiring up the tabbed dialog DOM event.
this.attach = function (mapDisplay) {
this.openBubble = function(content, coordinate){
TabbedInfoBubbles.prototype.openBubble(content, coordinate) ;
// Uncertainity as to which bubble needs wiring up - do both.
function wireUp(index){
var Page = nokia.maps.dom.Page;
var EventTarget = nokia.maps.dom.EventTarget;
// This element will only exist once the map has been displayed.
var infoBubbleDisplay = document.getElementsByClassName("nm_bubble_content")[index];
// Query Page support for the node.
// Attach EventTarget interface to the document to allow normalized events at the node.
// Add a listener for the click event to the node and show an alert if clicked.
infoBubbleDisplay.addListener("click", clickFunction , false);
The "click" DOM event will be fired whenever the user clicks anywhere within the InfoBubble. An initial check restricts the code to only update the InfoBubble if a tab has been clicked. The code itself comes in two parts: the first part traverses the DOM until the first
 of the tabbed content is discovered, the second part iterates thorough each of the
 elements in turn and associates the nm_tab_current class with the
 that was clicked and displays its associated content, whereas the nm_tab class is associated to all the other tabs, and their content
 elements are hidden, by setting the style to display:none.
var clickFunction = function (evt) {
if(evt.target.className == "nm_tab"){
var offset = 0;
var tabs = evt.target.parentNode.children;
var tabContent = this.children;
while (offset < tabContent.length) {
if (tabContent[offset].nodeName== "DIV" ) {
// Loop through all the LI elements and set the clicked on to current,
// At the same time ensure only the nth DIV associated with the Nth Tab
// is visible - all other are set to display:none.
for (var i = 0, len = tabs.length; i < len; i++){
if ( tabs[i] == evt.target){
tabs[i].className = 'nm_tab_current';
tabContent[i+ offset].style.display ='block';
} else {
tabs[i].className = 'nm_tab';
tabContent[i + offset].style.display ='none';
Adding content to the tabbed dialog control
The InfoBubble map component accepts HTML as one of it input parameters, all that remains is to create a function that creates the HTML in the required format. A function can be written which takes an Array of tab headers and an Array of tab contents, along with an optional title for the TabbedInfoBubble, and create the necessary HTML for the tabbed dialog control.
this.addTabbedBubble = function(tabs, content, title, coordinate){
TabbedInfoBubbles.prototype.addBubble(tabbedContent(tabs, content, title), coordinate) ;
var tabbedContent = function (tabs, content, title){
var myHTMLcontent = "
";
for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++){
if (i==0){
myHTMLcontent = myHTMLcontent + "
"+ tabs[i] + "
";
} else {
myHTMLcontent = myHTMLcontent + "
"+ tabs[i] + "
";
myHTMLcontent = myHTMLcontent + "
" + title;
for (var i = 0; i < content.length; i++){
if (i==0){
myHTMLcontent = myHTMLcontent + "
"+ content[i] + "
";
} else {
myHTMLcontent = myHTMLcontent + "
"+ content[i] + "
";
return myHTMLcontent;
This function can be used to create a tabbed Infobubble using the syntax:
infoBubbles.addTabbedBubble(tabs, content, title, coordinate) ;
The result of this can be seen in the Worked Example
Using tabbed Infobubbles with KML
Using KML helps to separate the actual content from the way it is displayed on screen. The HTML which is displayed in the Infobubble is defined as a <BalloonStyle> and the content taken from the <description> and <name> elements. It is a simple matter to change the styling by associating an appropriate <BalloonStyle> using the

Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland does not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones.
Pituitary insufficiency
The pituitary gland is a small structure that is located just below the brain. It is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus . This is the area of the brain that controls the pituitary gland's function.
The hormones released by the pituitary gland (and their functions) are:
In hypopituitarism, there is a lack of one or more pituitary hormones. Lack of a hormone leads to loss of function in the gland or organ the hormone controls. For example, lack of TSH leads to loss of normal function of the thyroid gland.
Hypopituitarism may be caused by:
Occasionally, hypopituitarism is due to uncommon immune system or metabolic diseases, such as:
Hypopituitarism is also a rare complication after pregnancy, a condition called Sheehan's syndrome.
Symptoms of hypopituitarism include any of the following:
Symptoms may develop slowly and may vary greatly, depending upon:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
To diagnose hypopituitarism, there must be low hormone levels due to a problem with the pituitary gland. The diagnosis must also rule out diseases of the organ that is affected by this hormone.
Tests may include:
Levels of a pituitary hormone may be high in the bloodstream if you have a pituitary tumor that is producing too much of that hormone. The tumor may crush other cells of the pituitary, leading to low levels of other hormones.
If hypopituitarism is caused by a tumor, you may need surgery to remove the tumor. Radiation therapy may also be needed.
You will need lifelong hormone medicines to replace hormones that are no longer made by organs under the control of the pituitary gland. These may include:
Drugs are also available to treat related infertility in men and women.
Hypopituitarism is usually permanent. It requires lifelong treatment with one or more medicines. But you can expect a normal life span.
Side effects of medicines can develop. Stopping corticosteroid and thyroid supplementation can be life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of hypopituitarism.
In most cases, the disorder is not preventable. Awareness of risk may allow early diagnosis and treatment.

This should get some people's blood pumping...Gerald Ing, long-time supporter of Build The Track!, came out and did some 60-Ft tests on the existing asphalt at KRP. This is a VERY short clip of one of the launches.
We wanted to see how the ground would hold up, and how much rocks would be thrown around. He wanted to test for Maui so it was a win-win. It was the first drag race car ever launched at KRP. I'm sure it won't be the last if we get our way.
The surface is extremely rough, wide enough for only one car at a time, but it's doable for testing and possible burnout competitions at the moment. Please keep in mind that this was only for a 60-foot comp test and to see whether it's even a credible idea. Gerald also generously donated to the "Asphalt Fund" for KRP.
We're trying to support everyone, and we're working with what we have, so please show us some love as we work towards getting EVERYONE racing again! Mahalo!

So...the Pierre Petty is coming back to me, and will be immediately put back up for sale. It is virtually unused, other than on some soft bread and incredibly papery paper. The only patina gained is the beautiful non-visible kind left by slicing paper, because you just want to cut something!!!
The original owner ended up loving it - everything about it - except the handle just didn't work with the member's grip type (more of a Western user). Let me tell you, this person is bummed out, and for good reason.
However, this unfortunate situation for the original owner is a huge chance for all of you. The demand on this thing was crazy high, and it's now back up...or will be, in no time.
I just thought I'd let you all know.

For the semiconductor industry, each technology node presents new challenges in IC design and manufacture. Efficient heat removal from die in MCP/MCMs, stacked-die packages, 3D ICs, is critical and a limiting factor in the miniaturization of package geometries that support ever-more advanced mobile and Consumer Electronics applications. Thinner die result in greater on-die temperature variation, and in the case of multi-die products, greater die-die thermal interaction, such that IC design flows now need to be 'temperature aware'. LEDs present a unique challenge in terms of their thermal design and opto-thermal characterization.
Mentor's thermal design software and industry-leading device characterization hardware support the design and characterization all packaged ICs, the creation of detailed and compact thermal models, and the generation of thermal metrics.

ABN AMRO's CTO, Dirk Sibiet, and the CCO of Private Banking, Hans-Peter Borgh, discuss how virtualising the end-user environment boosts security & compliance, significantly reduces costs, and opens up new opportunities for Relationship Managers to visit ABN AMRO Private Bank customers anywhere, anytime.
"Because at ABN AMRO Private Banking we have a lot of relationship managers who are private bankers and who meet their clients outside the offices. We will now be using virtual desktops to make our client conversations so much more relevant, by allowing our bankers, when they are on the road, to access the information they need and the tools they need to help our clients understand their [own] financial situation and financial opportunities better."
ABN AMRO N.V. Singapore
ABN AMRO business leaders talk about how they started their virtualisation journey with consolidation and DR, which led then to the current vCloud Suite implantation and the conclusion that any application can be virtualized. In partnership with Professional Services, provisioning time is reduced, DR recovery time slashed, and significant CAPEX savings have been made.
"We as a bank are now convinced that our strategy of moving to a virtual data centre is actually enabling our business to be more efficient and more profitable, and will enable our business to grow at a faster pace because we can [quickly] deliver solutions to market."
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC)
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) was one of the few companies in the region to deploy the comprehensive stack of Oracle E-business solutions with mission critical applications such as CRM, Business Intelligence and Oracle databases. This complex solution required stacks of hardware from several vendors, a lot of space, and expensive licenses. Today, with a custom designed VMware virtualization solution, ADPC has consolidated its IT infrastructure resulting in increased performance, savings on hardware maintenance and running costs, and enhanced scalability for further expansion.
"VMware's dedication, support and expertise enabled Abu Dhabi Ports Company to execute one of the biggest virtualization projects in the region, Oracle E-business suite.

"One of the most prominent changes is recovery time, especially with this technology such as virtualization using VMware. You no longer need to restore from physical tape and see recovery times of upwards of 24 hours, something that we hadn't seen until recently. We implemented Site Recovery Manager (SRM) from VMware and we can now do that same recovery in about four hours."
Acorda Therapeutics, Inc.
Acorda Therapeutics is a rapidly growing midsized Biotech company who recently implemented a new disaster recovery strategy – instead of restoring from physical tapes which took an upwards of 24 hours, now with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) they can do the same recovery in about four hours.
"We no longer have to go to a cold sight and recover everything from tape and spend literally our entire weekends, doing the disaster recovery to meet the FDA's guidelines. Now with SRM we we can do it from our own homes and just really create a test right then and there, within hours it's up and running. We've proven that we can recover in disaster"
Acorda Therapeutics, Inc.
Discover what led Acorda Therapeutics to move to a 100% virtualized environment and how they proved to Oracle consultants that their applications run better on VMware.
"At this point we've virtualized 100 percent of our infrastructure, and some of those applications that I'm referring to would be Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, more recently Oracle databases, and several custom applications that are specific to our industry"

The company sought an end-user computing (EUC) solution from VMware to enable quick provisioning and de-provisioning of development environments. The ADP Dealer Services team chose VMware View for global deployment. With the View client, the developers access their remote workstations, either locally or remotely. The remote View workstation securely interacts with any ADP application from anywhere. The company has realized two great benefits – the ability for each administrator to manage 300-400 workstations, and the ability of the team to create and deploy workstations exceedingly fast, up to 50 or 60 a day.
"To give our team a space where they could be creative - where they could have a lot of flexibility in their personal compute - we started rolling out View.
Adventist Health System Information Services

"VMware Site Recovery Manager makes managing and testing our recovery plans as easy as pushing a button. The fact that we can run tests as often as we want gives us a high degree of confidence in the recoverability of our systems."
Adways Inc.
Adways Inc. runs a diverse and fast-growing portfolio of Internet businesses. To ensure its IT architecture is flexible and responsive enough to support the company's further expansion, Adways recently implemented a VMware-designed software-defined data centre (SDDC) architecture.
"Our software-defined data centre based on VMware vCloud Suite is indispensable to the global growth of our business. We now have a proactive IT infrastructure that is extremely flexible and responsive."
AGAR Supply
Centrally Manage Desktops And Provide Users With Desktop Access Anytime, Anywhere, On Demand
"AGAR prides itself on using the best technology available to service our customers as well as separate us from our competitors. VMware View has enabled us to improve user productivity by increasing the availability of our desktops. In addition, it has enhanced network security, simplified management and lowered costs. We are thrilled with the product and highly recommend VMware View to businesses of all sizes."
Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star)
Deploy VMware virtualization to allocate server resources to applications and services as required while lowering costs and improving return on hardware investment.
"To support our team's work testing, developing and releasing into production applications that support our scientific and business goals, we deployed a virtualized infrastructure that removed the need to wait weeks to acquire new physical servers."
Agora SA
Zimbra Collaboration Suite is used by over 3000 Agora users, employees mail boxes size increased 10x – at the same time, per mailbox maintenance and management costs decreased several times, optimized operation cost of the entire e-mail environment.
"Zimbra proved to be a very efficient system. The system is also very simple in operation – the number of helpdesk requests was decreased and we are able to solve reported problems very fast and very easily."
AIA New Zealand
AIA New Zealand replaced its physical firewalls with VMware vCNS with immediate results; significant CAPEX savings, reduced downtime and an agile disaster recovery solution
"VMware has enabled us to undertake a fundamental transformation in how we operate. At this stage we have really only started the journey and there is a lot more to come. It's very exciting."

I just came back from London and can't wait to share with you the foods I devoured. This is my second trip to London (the first trip was in 2000) and all I can say is London rules.
Who says London has no great restaurants and don't have much to offer in the food department? I disagree. If you are a Londoner, I envy you because I think you live in a food mecca (grass is always greener?!) where great restaurants are within walking distance, much to the contrary to, say, Los Angeles, where I have to drive an average of an hour or more just to get some decent chow…
Anyway, here are just a fraction of the great food I enjoyed. I recommend the following restaurants–nothing too frou-frou or pretentious so anyone can just pop in and have a great meal without costing an arm and a leg.
London Restaurant Recommendations
- Belgo – Belgo serves the best mussels and best Belgian beer. Period. Don't miss out the steamed mussel pot (I love the traditional flavor and the baked mussels with cheese and spinach). For beer, I luuuuurve the fruity beer, especially the one with mango. Now, when can we get those booze in the US?!
- La Tasca – La Tasca offers great Spanish tapas in a casual environment. Sit by the stools facing St. Martin's Lane for some people-watching while taking in some exceptional small plates of Spanish delicacy.
- Le Palais Du Jardin – French food with impeccable service (the manager came twice to check on me!). The seafood platter with lobster, crab, tiger prawns, oysters, almandes, mussels, cockles and langoustines swept me off my feet…so much so that I totally forgot about taking pictures!
- Crab noodles at a Chinese restaurant which I forgot the name!
A special note to an old friend C, with whom I had lost touch with. Thanks for introducing me to Belgo and other fun places years ago. London remains a very special place in my heart.
If you live in London, do leave me comments and tell me your favorite restaurants!

Will be going there next month. Will try to check out your recommendations. Thanks!!
Oh I wholeheartedly agree. I lived in London for two years and found there was never a dearth of interesting and wonderful restaurants around the city. Since the city is predominantly a melting pot of other culture (I swear it seems there are more non-brits then brits in London), there's such an extensive selection. I even ate at my first Ethiopian restaurant there!
And Belgo, I loved Belgo. I loved going down to the "dungeon" and being served by men dressed as monks and then inhaling the aroma wafting from the pot of moulles before plunging in. Did they serve you the shooters while you were there?
Malaysian living in Manchester. Been down LondON a few times so far. I do confess London does have its many culinary delights. I do recommend Japan centre in Picadilly Circus. Authentic, good and well-priced Japanese food for a quick bite or a sit in dinner. Been hearding good reviews of Belgo and its famous Mango beer. Yum, looking forward to my next trip there. La Tasca is a good place for spanish food in the UK. But as one of the Spanish waitress there put it "spanish food for english ppl" Authentic spanish food is hard to come by as those i've savoured in Barca. Keep up the good work. Your blog is in my must read daily list.
hey, you are constantly flying! I envy so you much.. bring me along next time when you go. =)
This post was really helpful. I'm traveling to London next month for the first time and have been stressing about finding good restaurants. Thanks!
I hear the roast duck rice in Kam Tong in Queensway is very good. There'a also the famous Khan's in Westbourne Grove. Haven't visited London in awhile though!
I remember having one of the best originated from UK food -Chicken Tikka Masala (forgot the restaurant name) and also one of da best lobster noodles (also forgot the restaurant name). But both restaurants were in Bayswater/Queensway, I think :)
Glad that you had an enjoyable and satisfied "Eating London" trip.
Indian food! London has great Indian food as well! And I love Belgos – haven't been there for ages and ages! Do the waiters still dress like monks?
Sounds like you had a great trip!Where oh where are the kebabs??? I miss kebabs so much :(
tigerfish: I'm guessing the chicken tikka masala was at Khan's (student favourite!) and the lobster noodles at Mandarin Kitchen?
Love St John's Bread and Wine. Tapas at Cafe Garcia. Gelato from Oddono's. Duck rice at Four Seasons. Dim sum at Royal China. I could go on for a while…
rasa malaysia,
See previous post's comment for my email address. Send me an email and I'll try to help you with the "photo-saving". It's a length but easy process.;)i agree with London being the food mecca bit. A malaysian living in the South West of England, and been up to London a few times, absolutely love the food.
Of course if you compare to the US London is a great place food wise !! I disagree with the term "mecca" as it's a strong word that London does not deserve! OK London has a lot of different "cuisine" to offer but it doesn't mean good/tasty/authentic. London is not a cheap place to eat and the very good restaurant are rare, but as a tourist i understand you can enjoy it.
I do agree to an extend that London has a few good restaurants to offer. However, for the same kind of budget or less, you could get better value for money and quality of meals, just next door by Eurostar (Paris/France rather).
My recommendations of restaurants:
1. Fancy Chinese? Dim Sum? YauAtCha, Royal China.
2. Fancy French?
Fine Dinning:
Pied a Terre, Savoy Grill, Le Gavroche.
Venture a bit of out London :: Bray, Berkshire-
Fat Duck, The Waterside Inn.Best view of Tower Bridge:
Le Pont de la Tour3. Fancy Japanese?
For environment: Matsuri High Holborn
Value for money: SakuraPictures on demand.
wow feasting in london! i'm green with envy :)
Crab noodles at Mandarin Kitchen, Queensway/Bayswater?
Glad you had lotsa foodie fun. Come again!
Interesting entry… i'm a Malaysian living in London, so I guess there's more reason to eat out more now!
Some of my personal favourites: Babylon at the Roof Gardens (really nice atmosphere), Lotus Floating Restaurant (cheap and good dim sum), bakeries from Paul, Maroush for Lebanese food, etc etc… don't miss out the traditional pub food too!
A good site to visit is toptable.co.uk – a lot of discounted offers on good restaurants, i'm sure no one minds paying less for good food?
our fave dish in London is English girls , coz they do have rose smell
heheheLove the site Rasa and have sent you an e-mail about a food and wine pairing that InterWined.com does every Friday. We'd love to pair one of your dishes.
As an American that's lived in London for the past 11 years, I have to say that I do find London an excellent place for food (if not always price or service). There is a great variety to suit almost all budgets.
Here are some of my favourites:
Fish in the Tie (Clapham Junction) – it's ridiculously affordable and always fresh
Chowki (Piccadilly Circus) – this is another cheaper option that has an Asian Indian menu that changes every month to highlight regional dishes
Mar i Terra (Piccadilly Circus & Southwark) – this is a Spanish tapas-style restaurant, but you won't find the simple fare here.
Bam Boo (Charlotte Street) – this is a great Vietnamese, French Fusion restaurant. Try the chocolate spring rolls.
Chez Bruce (Wandsworth Common) – it's not on the tourist map, but by far and away it is often hailed as London's best eatery, beating all the big names again and again.
Café Emm (Soho) – this is where you go when you can agree what to eat. It's super cheap, always packed, and serves something for everyone.
Ping Pong (chain mostly around Oxford Street) – this dim sum place is always fun to take visitors.
Anyone that says that London restaurants aren't very good or aren't in abundance isn't trying very hard. The list above is 7 of 100s of great places.
Can I go with you next time????
grass is always greener? well, come to adelaide!!! *grin*
Lyrical Lemongrass – cool…I hope you will like it.
Christine – no, I didn't get the shooters at Belgo. Will have to try it next time.
Mike Lai – thanks for your nice comment and all the food recommendations. I will have to go back!
Oppss – sure, we should all go together! ;)
Lorelee – cool. Check out the comments from the readers…you will have lots of choices! :)
Tunku Halim – Roast duck, I like. Thanks for the information.
Tiga – I am sure we had the same lobster noodles because my friend took me there and said it's the best. But I didn't pay attention to the place or the name of the restaurant, just busy eating.
Wok and Spoon – hmmm, I didn't pay attention to the uniform of the waiters at Belgo, I was too busy with the food and beer. LOL!
Pablo – too many things to eat, too little time. :P
Su-Lin – thanks for the reco's.
Kok – thanks for your comment, don't worry about it. I have "moved on" from my deleted pictures. Hehe.
Shobee – agreed.
Famed London – grass is greener. US has a lot of great food too, but it's different. In LA, you have to drive, but NYC is similar to London, everything is walking distance and great.
Lemongrass – that's true about Paris. The last time I was in Paris (2000), the food was fantastic, better than London, of course, and I didn't even have to do any research. Simply walk in to any restaurants and you get the best foods. Amazing!
Rokh – hehe, when are you going?
Persis – I think so, I think the restaurant is one a street next to Hyde Park.
Anonymous – thanks for the information. :)
Team BSG – this is to tell you that I am ignoring your comment. Girls are not food.
Sean – thanks for the recommendations. I really appreciate your list. Thanks so much!
Steamy – sure I will let you know when I go the next time. :)
Jun – I haven't been to AU, but I am sure I will get there sooner or later. ;)
I love Belgo and La tasca man…
miss the food in UK:(
Great timing! I'm going there in 6 days! Do you have any particular recs for families (grown-up kids but 4 people = need a budget)
1) Belgo
2) Japanese Restaurant – Sushi Bar Tomo, used to be near Bond St, now not in operation due to expiry of lease. :( The best sushi!
3) Lotus Floating Restaurant for their ala carte menu.
Oh too bad I missed your visit! Glad you had a nice time eating in London – I'm always in such a hurry when I go there, I never get a time to eat properly! Hope you come out again, and venture out further!
Why oh why didn't you post that you are coming??? Would love to play food guide + trip to Borough Market. My favourites :
Belgo's for their mussels
Khans at Westbourne Grove for their butter chicken and lamb briyani
Totos at Knightsbridge for italian
C&R at Westbourne Grove for their Wat Tan Hor
Bugis Restaurant (Gloucester Tube station) for Hainanese Chicken Rice
Hakkasan (very expensive though)
Four Seasons (for HK style duck rice)
Oddono's for gelato
but if it is teh tarik and nasi goreng kampung with sambal belacan, it has to be Nahar at Spring Street near Paddington.
No one mention the infamous Wong Kei? hehe…
Dragged my sis who lives in London to bring us there, and she was so reluctant to step in. But mum and i think the service's not that bad. LOL…
Where are you going next?
The food is great here in London, but La Tasca isn't part of that. Spanish Cuisine is great, but La Tasca microwave all of their dishes, nothing is cooked fresh. If you want authentic tapas there are plenty of places around London that are light years better than La Tasca.
well, i am actually here in london for holiday since my girlfriend happens to study law here. been staying here for almost 4 weeks already, and i discovered that there's a restaurant in china town called four season (famous for their roast duck). 2 thumbs up for their roast duck, it's being served with their house's specialty sauce. totally awesome!
oh yeah, another good food to be recommended is a stall set up on weekend in portobello road. if i m not mistaken, the food that's being served are their authentic stew food,cooked by few africans( one and only) so you won't go wrong. i would say it's the best stew food i have eaten in my life :D. it's actually located in a market that sells antique and foods stretched along the whole road(mayb 500m long). you can actually stop at notting hill gate by taking a underground tube.
Agree with Luke Lee, four seasons does the best roast duck ever, and the best thing is, we get it it for free =) As a londoner, there are many good restaurants, if you ever come to london, you should try borough market at london bridge. The market stalls offer things like wild boar sausages in a bun, veal burgers, and amazing seafood.
*Kaslik in soho does great lebanese food
*Jamie oliver's restaurant in canaty wharf for excellent italian
*Strada (chain resto) does a delicious seafood stew
*Gilgamesh – if you ever come london make this THE restaurant you visit. it's in camden town and the decor and atmosphere is amazing. The food obviously is excellent. I am not a fan of fushion food ever, but the chefs here really have got it spot on. you will not be disappointed!There are so many good places to eat in london, if you ever come london again, make a post and i'll be sure to name some excellent restaurants for you to try!
