JavaScript - Google Maps Info Bubble?
hi
On my map, I have several markers, see my code: Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function load() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl()); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl()); var locationIcon = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON); //both images must be the same size locationIcon.image = "images/google-pin.png"; locationIcon.shadow = "images/google-pin-shadow.png"; locationIcon.iconSize = new GSize(90, 70); locationIcon.shadowSize = new GSize(90, 70); markerOptions = { icon:locationIcon }; map.setCenter(new GLatLng(51.3992613899243,-1.32983778443008), 8); // center point between the 2 map.addOverlay(new GMarker(new GLatLng(51.4769752333875,-2.53517458867092), markerOptions)); //BS16 3HH map.addOverlay(new GMarker(new GLatLng(50.8391656924497,-0.154312843280554), markerOptions)); // BN1 5PT map.addOverlay(new GMarker(new GLatLng(50.8340528225749,-0.259947032613667), markerOptions)); // BN43 6NZ map.addOverlay(new GMarker(new GLatLng(51.5168824045344,-2.6926718990779), markerOptions)); // BS11 9YQ map.addOverlay(new GMarker(new GLatLng(50.954582894922,-0.145016932400171), markerOptions)); // RH15 9LR } } //51.514925,-0.150118 W1U 1JQ //51.497593,-0.164806 SW3 1NQ </script> I would like to add an info bubble for each of my markers, would I add this piece of code somewhere within my code: Code: GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml("<table width='215'><tr><td><a rel="nofollow" target='_blank' href='http://www.lcls.org/'>Lewis & Clark Library System</a></td></tr><tr><td><img src='http://www.lcls.org/images/galleries/tour/01-BuildingFromLot.JPG' border='0' width='195px' height='95' /></td></tr><tr><td>425 Goshen Road<br />Edwardsville,IL 62025<br />618-656-3216</td></tr></table><br /><a rel="nofollow" target='_blank' href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=425 Goshen Road%20Edwardsville,%20IL'>Directions</a>"); }); Similar TutorialsI've been trying for some time now to create some code which dynamically adds markers to a google map. I've now managed this but I still have a slight problem I think with the javascript side of things. I've included a snippet of the code which shows 2 markers on the map. They should be 2 different markers but they are the same, and the contents of the popup bubble should be each individual postcode, but they both show the same postcode. Does anyone have any ideas?

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.

'" onclick="loadSubPlace(\'getPlace.php\',\'txtHintPlaceSub\',\'hepatica=' . urlencode($wheat) . '\',\'getPlaceMap.php\',\'placemapcanvas\',\'Map=' . urlencode($tigerlilly) . '\');" />'; } echo '<input type="button" class="button3" name="addplace" id="addplace" value="Add Place" onclick="loadXMLDoc1(\'getAddPlaceSub.php\',\'txtHintPlaceSub\', encodeURI(\'addsubplace=' . $_POST['syringa'] . '\'));" />'; echo '<br /><br /><div id="txtHintPlaceSub"></div><br /><br />'; mysql_close($con); ?> I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important. I am using jMapping(http://vigetlabs.github.com/jmapping/) for using jQuery with google maps. What I'm trying to do is add an event listener so that when you click on a marker it will call a function I made within the jMapping function. Does anyone have any clues? everything I've tried doesn't work.
I'm completely at a loss how to embed a map with the new google maps api setup. I found a snippet of code that I dropped in with some small database variables pulled in and was done. Then an error came that the API was no good. So I went in and set up an anaccount, got an api and now I just simply have no clue what their instructions are saying I need to do. Gah! Here's what I originally had: I now have a Client ID, client secret and stuff. But no clue how to set up this url, etc. Code: </script> <script src="//maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=AIzaSyD4iE2xVSpkLLOXoyqT-RuPwURN3ddScAI" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>), 13); // Add the latitude/longitude marker to the map var point = new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>); map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point)); map.setUIToDefault(); } } </script> <b>Map:<br><br><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px; z-index:4000;border-width:medium;border-color:#030;"></div></b> 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 I have just started looking at the Google maps, and have atutorial that will get the co-ordinates.

I have a page with my embeded google maps on it and some markers. What I'm basically looking to do is have a web page with a menu down the side and when you click the menu items, the google maps markers would pop up on the map. For example, city attractions down a side menu and when you click say restaurants, the markers would pop up the location restaurants in a certain place, then you could click pubs and the restaurant markers would dissapear and the pub markers would appear. Can anyboy help me with this or even direct me to some code that would help. Thanks all. I have some problems with intergrating google maps into my page I cant seem to get a marker to appear on my map. I have tried numerous methods but non seem to work. I have integrated the google maps on my main site, repositioned and re-sized. The code below is a test page i work on to get code to work. It's just a map on a page entire code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html { height: 100% } body { height: 100%; margin: 25px; padding: 25px } #map_canvas { height: 100% } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDrxZnpYBNIwzBFVYaDY__BMONEjNEGZaI&sensor=false"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP } var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);} var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: map, title:"Hello World!" }); </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div> </body> </html> can anybody tell my where i am going wrong and just the map appears with no marker? thanks Hello i have a problem i need to resolve here is the script Code: script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&key=ABQIAAAAzr2EBOXUKnm_jVnk0OJI7xSosDVG8KKPE1-m51RBrvYughuyMxQ-i1QfUnH94QxWIa6N4U6MouMmBA" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var map = null; var geocoder = null; function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13); geocoder = new GClientGeocoder(); } } function showAddress(address) { if (geocoder) { geocoder.getLatLng( address, function(point) { if (!point) { alert(address + " not found"); } else { map.setCenter(point, 13); var marker = new GMarker(point); map.addOverlay(marker); marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address); } } ); } } </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()"> <form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false"> <p> <input type="text" size="60" name="address" value="1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA" /> <input type="submit" value="Go!" /> </p> <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div> </form> </body> its all working well but i need to use it differently. Is there a way to make the form submit automatically , i already have the address and i will <php> it from my database. i want that the map will show in the page as soon as the user clicked on an ad(real estate ad). Basically what we need here is: To know how to call the functions and give the address from the database. <body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()"> <form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false"> <p> <input type="text" size="60" name="address" value="1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA" /> <input type="submit" value="Go!" /> </p> <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div> </form> </body> Is there a way just to use this command without the form onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false">? And give the address as a variable ? and when the page is uploading it will have already passed the address and the map will show Danny Hi, Not sure how difficult this will be but im working on a javascript/HTML5 game, and thought it would be interesting to allow for people to add their score to a google map at their location. I can get the google map and allow people to add their own markers but i dont no how i would store them, and then reload them when someone plays the game. any ideas? Thanks, Luke Hello, I am working on creating a map using the google maps API. I would like to update the markers and info windows using an XML database. I know how to parse the XML using PHP if I was just going to create a table on the page, but for the life of me I can't find a complete and simple description of how to do it with javascript. I've been reading tutorials and W3 schools reference for over a week trying to figure it out. I'm new to javascipt, so some of the stuff I don't really understand. I did find a similar question posted on this forum, although I can't get it working. Here is my code (note: this code doesn't work, I know that I'm missing some way to load the xml and parse it, but I don't see how its done): Code: <!!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html { height: 100% } body { height: 80%; width: 80%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px } #map_canvas { height: 80% } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.8068620, -96.6816790), mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize); var bounds = new GLatLngBounds(); for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) { var company = markers[i].getAttribute('company'); var street = markers[i].getAttribute{'street'); var city = markers[i].getAttribute{'city'}' var state = markers[i].getAttribute{'state'); var zip = markers[i].getAttribute{'zip'); var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat{markers[i].getAttribute{'lat')), parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute('lng'))); var marker = createMarker(point, company, street, city, state, zip, map.addOverlay(marker); function createMarker(point, company, street, city, state, zip) { var marker = new GMarker(point); var html; GEvent.addlistener(marker, 'click', function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); }); return marker; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="map_canvas"></div> </body> </html> The XML is set up like this: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rp> <partner company="nameofcompany1" short="name1" street="123 fake street" city="New York" state="New York" zip="12345" lat="52.45545612" lng="-0.52664" /> <partner company="nameofcompany2" short=name2" street="231 notreal street" city="Chicago" state="IL" zip="23456" lat="55.45646" lng="-0.895423" /> </rp> I'm not really concerned with geocoding using the code, the number of entries shouldn't be more than a couple dozen, and I won't be adding a bunch at a single time. I was able to get the map working how I would like it, with multiple infowindows and markers, but I was having to put each into the code manually, with unique variables for each marker and info window. It seems like there is a much cleaner way to do this. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. I need help making this script output a route on the map on top of the dollar amount it outputs right now. Here is a link to what im working on http://stallionshockey.org/testweb/ Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Josh I have a working script and I want to add a toogleGroup command (which I have) to the end of the working script so that I can toggle map markers with radio buttons. Probably a simple addition.

I am okay at editing and adapting codes, but I don't know the sytax. Tried JSLINT but still confused. Probably quite simple. Thanks Hey all, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a problem I've been having. I'm attempting to find coordinates for several addresses at a time. I'm using a for-loop to loop through an array of addresses. I figured it would be best to have a separate function to evaluate the coordinate given an address, and just call it in every loop. Note that my code below is simplified (I removed the for loop because that's not where I'm having trouble). I know that the issue is probably because I'm trying to return a value from an anonymous function... I tried making the variable global, I tried having a return line from within the anonymous function, nothing has worked... any tips? Thanks -- Code follows Code: function initialize(){ var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); // creating a new geocode object var locCood = findcood('44106', geocoder); } function findcood(addr, geocoder) { var cood; if (geocoder) { geocoder.geocode({'address': addr}, function(results, status, cood){ if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) cood = results[0].geometry.location; else { cood = null; alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status); } }); } else { alert("No Geocode"); cood = null; } alert(cood); return cood; } Hey everyone! I have been fiddling with this for a while now. I cant seem to make anything work. I have tried geocoding services, get position etc. I am sure it can be done so I was hoping someone here may have some experience with the newest API for google maps, V3. In my code below I just have a simple map with a marker.. not important. What I am trying to do is, when you drag the little man to switch the map into streetview, I need to display the current latitude and longitude in some input boxes. This needs to happen in streetview mode though which I have not been able to make happen. Anyone care to lend a few minutes? It must be possible! Code: <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <title></title> <style> #map_canvas {height: 500px; width:800px;} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, streetViewControl: true }); var markers = [ { lat: 49.202612, lng: -122.879612, name: 'McDonalds', marker: 'default' }]; // Create the markers for (index in markers) addMarker(markers[index]); function addMarker(data) { var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng), map: map, title: data.name }); } var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); for (index in markers) { var data = markers[index]; bounds.extend(new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng)); } map.fitBounds(bounds); } </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div id="map_canvas"></div> Streetview Latitude: <input type="text" name="latitude" value="?"><br> Streetview Longitude: <input type="text" name="longitude" value="?"> </body> </html> I'm trying to make a map that will show your current location, but also load an xml file to show certain attractions in your area. I have the code to work for getting your current location, but I can't figure out how to implement loading the xml file and placing markers based off of that xml file. Here is the code for getting my location: Code: function show_position(p) { document.getElementById('current').innerHTML="latitude="+p.coords.latitude.toFixed(2)+" longitude="+p.coords.longitude.toFixed(2); var pos=new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude,p.coords.longitude); map.setCenter(pos); map.setZoom(14); var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: "<strong>yes</strong>" }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: pos, map: map, title:"You are here" }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { infowindow.open(map,marker); }); } </script > Can anybody help me figure this out? Thank you in advance My google maps is showing a grey box and no map?! Please help me, I got my code from he http://www.powerhut.co.uk/googlemaps/custom_markers.php and uploaded everything to the right place but it's just grey?! http://79.170.40.235/affordableappli...uk/contact.php Hello, I'm just beginning to work with javascript and having a heck of a time with the syntax. I've worked with PC's for over 25 years, but my programming skills are weak and rusty. I have a jpg image(s) that I'm trying to get to "overlay" a Google base map and I know I'm so close, but can't figure it out. I've looked at plenty of sample code on Google's code pages, as well as others but I'm missing something. I can send the code if someone could please help. Thanks in advance! Hello! I'm developing a small application with Google Maps API for use in Wordpress and didn't want to place all the javascript into the Worpress page template file. But whenever I place the javascript that works fine in page tempalte into separate javascript file in Wordpress, all of the code using Google Maps API except the code that runs Maps itself stops working. So the Maps runs but for example Geocoder does not. I'm simulatenously using Google's jQuery API. I hope someone has experience with this and can help me. |
