the innerHTML of the sidebar elements are normally not interesting. I
suspect what you want
is the description element from the kml which is used when you
construct
mouseover events and click events.

One trick might be to turn on mouseovers
define some container you want the message to be put in then fire a
mouseover
event on the "marker". the mouseover populates a div with appropriate
description.

in your geoxml constructor include
domouseover:true; messagebox:document.getElementById('messagearea')

marker = geoxml.overlayman.markers[n]; // get marker n
GEvent.trigger(marker,'mouseover'); // trigger mouse over event
telling it to populate the messagearea div above.

No handy event is fired aside from the html elements click event the
sidebar
is created with the sidebar function and uses innerHTML to create it.
Which
by the way is much faster than using the dom to create elements in
most
every browser.

That is certainly an interesting idea but might not be a novice
project
It could be a nice enhancement for GeoXml.
