So this seems pretty simple, but I haven't come across anything that I
understood. I was hoping that somebody could simplify my problem for
me.

I want to be able to click on a name of a city (outside of Google
Earth plugin), and I want it to change the camera view to that
location (specified by me). I have my plugin working, and everything
is set, but I want to be able to control where I'm looking at outside
of the plugin. Please help!

I thank everyone for their help beforehand. This has given me a
headache.

Edit: The city name will be an html element. Right now it is just <p
id="view">click here</p>. I'm pretty new to this, so simple help would
be nice!

Have a look here: http://www.planetinaction.com/sound/
On the right hand side are links that take you to various views. Each
link calls a setView javascript routine that looks like this (Assuming
the variable ge is a reference to your google earth plugin object):

function setView(latitude, longitude, range){
var la = ge.createLookAt('');
la.set(latitude,longitude, 0,ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND,
340, 70, range);
ge.getView().setAbstractView(la);
}

http://www.planetinaction.com/gearthframework/index.htm shows you a
way to implement a Google Earth plugin to your page.

I hope this helps you.
