JavaScript - How To Load A Google Map With The Results Of A Google Bar Search Already Shown?
I have a page with a GoogleMap with a GoogleBar and I would like the GoogleBar to appear with something written in it already and to have that search executed. In other words, I would like to "write something to the GoogleBar and press Enter" automatically as soon as the map loads. How can I do this?
btw: By GoogleBar, I mean the search bar that appears on the map after using the enableGoogleBar() function. Similar TutorialsPlease try a search on my webpage (search box is located at top of sidebar on the left): http://www.americanchic.net/help Here is the code implemented on the search results page: Code: <div id="cse-search-results"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results"; var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box"; var googleSearchFrameWidth = 500; var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com"; var googleSearchPath = "/cse"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script> The original code (from my Google custom search control panel) included a FrameWidth of 600 and I changed it to 500 but it didn't make a difference.

I cannot combine the codes to save my life... I've implemented the Google CSE on my website and it works fine but I'd like to ask if there is a way to highlight the searched words on destination sites using javascript? i.e.: 1. I type into the search form the word I need to find on my website --> 2. I get result site with links to subsites --> 3. After clicking one of the listed links I go back to my website, to certain subsite --> 4. The word I've been searching for is highlighted so I can easily find it. Thanks in advance. Hi: I'm new to this forum and JS. I simply want to be able to use the Google Maps API v3 to allow a location value entered in my app (by the user) to show that location via Google maps. The code below accomplishes this via an onClick event. How to accomplish the same WITHOUT an onClick? To be clear, it appears I need to be able to perform the geocode lookup to get the long/lat coordinates and then apply them. That all needs to occur on page load. Any tips on how to re-arrange this code to accomplish the desire goal are appreciated. Thanks much.

I found the following 'Cut & Paste Google Internal Site Search script' in the Javascriptkit.com library - it works well and provides an easy solution for adding a search function to a website - code below Code: <script type="text/javascript"> // Google Internal Site Search script- By JavaScriptKit.com (http://www.javascriptkit.com) // For this and over 400+ free scripts, visit JavaScript Kit- http://www.javascriptkit.com/ // This notice must stay intact for use //Enter domain of site to search. var domainroot="www.javascriptkit.com" function Gsitesearch(curobj){ curobj.q.value="site:"+domainroot+" "+curobj.qfront.value } </script> <form action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get" onSubmit="Gsitesearch(this)"> <p>Search JavaScript Kit:<br /> <input name="q" type="hidden" /> <input name="qfront" type="text" style="width: 180px" />*<input type="submit" value="Search" /></p> </form> <p style="font: normal 11px Arial">This free script provided by<br /> <a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a></p> However, if possible, I would like to display the results inside the website structure rather than on a new page - is there an easy way to do this?

I have been trying to find out how i can change this basic search script to be able to open on the same page, at the moment when you do a search it opens up on another page, i would like to be able to make this open on the same page, any help would be great! <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function search_google(){ window.open("http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q="+document.search.query.value); } //--> </script> <form name="search" onsubmit = "search_google()"> <input type="text" name="query" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Search Google" > </form> How do Google and Bing allow you to use the keyboard up and down keys to jump to the suggested search results. I know how to do the Ajax search part, I just can't figure out how to get the search suggestions selected, and fire their HREF tag upon clicking the Enter button. Basically I can do all this without any keyboard navigation but I need to hook in the keyboard like they do. Is there a simple example somewhere? Google and Bing's are super complex and I can't snoop how they pull it off. I used the Google Internal Site Search script for my site but its search only the index.htm, how can I make it search the entir web site.
Hi, I'm not sure where I have translated this incorrectly. I have one google map embedded on my page which works fine. But I wanted to add a second one. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a second page which is called later on with all the details on it for the second map. However although I think (this I presume is where I went wrong) I have replicated the instructions correctly the place holder for the second map just remains blank. This is the code for my called page with the instructions for the second map: PHP Code: <?php echo $_POST['Map'] . '<br />'; ?> <div id="placemap_canvas"></div> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html {height:250px} body {height:250px} #placemap_canvas {width:100%; height:150px;} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" /> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng ( <?php include("dbconnect.php"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM regions WHERE RegionPId='{$_POST['Map']}'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['maplink']; } mysql_close($con); ?> ); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("placemap_canvas"), myOptions); } </script> And this is the script of the main page, just in case I would be better off keeping them both in one place. Code: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function loadSubPlace(File,ID,Msg,Eile,EID,Esg){ loadXMLDoc1(File,ID,Msg); var mimer = setTimeout(function(){loadXMLDoc1(Eile,EID,Esg)},5000); } </script> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html {height:250px} body {height:250px} #map_canvas {width:30%; height:250px;} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" /> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng ( <?php include("dbconnect.php"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries WHERE Country='{$_SESSION['Country']}'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['Map']; } mysql_close($con); ?>); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); } </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div class="countryright" id="map_canvas"> include("dbconnect.php"); $snowball=explode(';',$_POST['syringa']); $turnsol=$snowball[1]; $violet =$snowball[2]; $wakerobin=$snowball[3]; global $turnsol; global $violet; global $wakerobin; echo '<center><b><big>' . $wakerobin.

If anyone can assist it would be most appreciated? I am using Dreamweaver (latest version)... This code here below when run produces a google map with a street address look up input. I am wanting to learn how to look up an address and submit this to resolve within the map, and also to insert a place holder... I'd like the look up box to sit within (and overlay) the map top left area - at the moment it sits below the map - which i guess is because I haven't inserted a frame??

Can the Google API replace scraping? You can get blocked by Google if you scrape, but can you get the same info from the Google API at no risk?
Is there a javascript that when I mouse over a object like the the magnifying glass that can be seen after a google search that will display a preview image and then make that image clickable to pull up that webpage/file? TYIA James I started using Google API Visualizations to create a bar chart which was very easy because of the code examples google gives but then I realised instead of setting the values I want within the html I wanted a form which would let you input the values you want for the bar chart. I made it look like this: Using this code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title> Google Visualization API Sample </title> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function UpdateChart (form) { var TeamA = form.TeamA.value; var TeamB = form.TeamB.value; var TeamC = form.TeamC.value; var TeamD = form.TeamD.value; } </SCRIPT> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load('visualization', '1', {packages: ['barchart']}); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function drawVisualization() { // Create and populate the data table. var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Year'); data.addColumn('number', 'Score'); data.addRows(4); data.setValue(0, 0, 'Team A'); data.setValue(0, 1, 500); data.setValue(1, 0, 'Team B'); data.setValue(1, 1, 300); data.setValue(2, 0, 'Team C'); data.setValue(2, 1, 70); data.setValue(3, 0, 'Team D'); data.setValue(3, 1, 150); // Create and draw the visualization. new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('visualization')). draw(data, {title: 'Scores', legend: 'none'}); } google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization); </script> </head> <body style="font-family: Arial;border: 0 none;"> <div id="visualization" style="width: 300px; height: 300px;"></div> <form name="input" method="get"> Team A: <input type="text" name="TeamA" value="0" size="1"> <br>Team B: <input type="text" name="TeamB" value="0" size="1"> <br>Team C: <input type="text" name="TeamC" value="0" size="1"> <br>Team D: <input type="text" name="TeamD" value="0" size="1"> <br> <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="btnUpdate" Value="Update" onClick="UpdateChart(this.form)"> </form> </body> </html> However, instead of the values I've bolded I want the values from the form to be used. I've never really used Javascript before so I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Hi there, I know too little of JavaScript to get the Google Maps API working. I hope someone can help me out! My goal is to display an address. In the example on google, you can input it through a form: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/doc...ng-simple.html I would like the map to show the location+marker when I open the page, not after clicking a submit button. However, I only want an address in my html. I want the API to convert it in a LatLng format. Hopefully, someone can take the time to look at it. It's all in the source code of the page mentioned above, I believe. Thanks! Hello Everyone! I'm new to the forums but have a question with Google Translate I'm trying to add to my site. I believe the code for Google Translate is a Java Script and I'd like to put this on my website in the side column. The only thing I would like to modify is a <br> (break) between the Powered by and Google Translate. So I would like it to be center aligned like: Powered by Google Translate Right now it is stretching out the column because of the added space and frustrating me! Any idea how to do this? Here is the code: Code: <div id="google_translate_element"></div><script> function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en' }, 'google_translate_element'); } </script><script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script> My knowledge of javascript and coding in general is very very limited so any changes you make or where I should put the code, definitely let me know Thanks, Phil Hey I'm quite new at javascript and am currently in the process of creating a site that embeds google maps using an xml document. What I'm trying to do is categories the markers on my map. I am trying to make it so there are check boxes at the bottom and when i check the boxes, i.e. theatres, the markers will appear for the theatres and disappear when unchecked. Using some example code i have modified, i have so far got the maps to pickup the markers from the xml with the check boxes but the markers are all just on the page and the check boxes dont do anything and I am stuck as to of why. here's my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Google Maps</title> <script src="mykey"></script> </head> <body style="margin:0px; padding:0px;" onload="initialize()"> <table border=1> <tr> <td> <div id="map" style="width: 550px; height: 450px"></div> </td> <td valign="top" style="width:150px; text-decoration: underline; color: #4444ff;"> <div id="side_bar"></div> </td> </tr> </table> <form action="#"> Theatres: <input type="checkbox" id="theatrebox" onclick="boxclick(this,'theatre')" /> Golf Courses: <input type="checkbox" id="golfbox" onclick="boxclick(this,'golf')" /> Tourist Information: <input type="checkbox" id="infobox" onclick="boxclick(this,'info')" /><br /> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-162157-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var side_bar_html = ""; var gmarkers = []; var map = null; function createMarker(point,name,html,category) { var marker = new GMarker(point); GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); }); marker.mycategory = category; marker.myname = name; gmarkers.push(marker); side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript<b></b>:myclick(' + (gmarkers.length-1) + ')">' + name + '<\/a><br>'; return marker; } function show(category) { for (var i=0; i<gmarkers.length; i++) { if (gmarkers[i].mycategory == category) { gmarkers[i].setVisible(true); } } document.getElementById(category+"box").checked = true; } ensures the checkbox is cleared == function hide(category) { for (var i=0; i<gmarkers.length; i++) { if (gmarkers[i].mycategory == category) { gmarkers[i].setVisible(false); } } document.getElementById(category+"box").checked = false; that we just hid infowindow.close(); } function boxclick(box,category) { if (box.checked) { show(category); } else { hide(category); } makeSidebar(); } function myclick(i) { google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i],"click"); } var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl()); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl()); map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 53.8363,-3.03771), 11); GDownloadUrl("categories.xml", function(doc) { var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc); var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker"); for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) { // obtain the attribues of each marker var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")); var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")); var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address"); var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name"); var html = "<b>"+name+"<\/b><p>"+address; var category = markers[i].getAttribute("category"); // create the marker var marker = createMarker(point,name,html,category); map.addOverlay(marker); } document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html; show("theatre"); hide("golf"); hide("info"); }); } else { alert("Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser"); } </script> </body> </html> If anybody help with this and tell me where I am going wrong, it would be much appreciated. thanks Hi there! I'm creating a map that starts at the users location, has multiple locations marked out (that are fetched from JSON), tells if the person is withing a 100m range of the location and shows an overlay when a location is clicked on. Is this even possible? (doesn't feel like it atm ) and if it's possible, which parts of google's api do I use? If anyone has far to much spare time and feels like showing me how to do 1/2 of these things I would be extremley grateful, but I don't expect that. Cheers. |
