JavaScript - Google Api Question
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. Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm desperately trying to figure out how to "transform" Javascript commands into HTML code. Excuse my noobness but I really know nothing about Javascript. Basically, I have this Google API Search 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">

<title>My Google AJAX Search API Application</title>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=CUT"></script>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
google.load("search", "1");
function OnLoad() {
// Create a search control
var searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl();
// Add in a full set of searchers
var localSearch = new google.search.LocalSearch();
searchControl.addSearcher(localSearch);
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.WebSearch());
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.VideoSearch());
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.BlogSearch());
// Set the Local Search center point
localSearch.setCenterPoint("New York, NY");
// Tell the searcher to draw itself and tell it where to attach
searchControl.draw(document.getElementById("searchcontrol"));
// Execute an inital search
searchControl.execute("Google");
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);

</script>

<body>
<div id="searchcontrol">Loading...</div>
</body>
</html>
Now, what I'm desperately trying to do since 4-5 hours is to have the search results between the <div id="searchcontrol"></div> encoded as HTML in the loaded page. Currently, when the page is loaded and I look at the source code, I have the word 'Loading...' in the <div> tags, despite in the normal view there are G results listed. I need those results encoded as HTML for SEO reasons. Researching on this matter I thought the problem could be the OnLoad command, that makes the script load after all the other HTML elements are loaded. But I tried to make it load before all the elements in the page, and the problem persists. How can I solve this? Thanks in advance for any help! Can anyone give me some advice on how to manipulate Google Fusion Table using Javascript??? I've read the Fusion table's Developer Guider. But still feel confused. Can anyone tell me the specific solution?? Or give me a sample code?? Thanks very much!!!!!! 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. 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"

</script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng (
<?php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['Map'];

var myOptions = {

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. '</big></b></center><br /><br />';
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM regions
WHERE country='{$turnsol}' AND region='{$violet}' AND place='{$wakerobin}' AND sub !=''
ORDER BY sub ASC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$wheat="{$row['RegionPId']};{$turnsol};{$violet};{$wakerobin};{$row['sub']}";
$tigerlilly=$row['RegionPId'];
echo '<input type="button" class="button3" name="place" id="place" value="' . $row['sub'] . '" onclick="loadSubPlace(\'getPlace.php\',\'txtHintPlaceSub\',\'hepatica=' . urlencode($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. 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?

my problem is i don't know how to execute it so i can see how it works. I tried sticking this code within a php file and it returns an error on the first line for unexpected t-string. So i tried changing the extension to xml and it just displays the code but does not execute. I'm stumped. Any help is appreciated. Thanks P.S. - Yes i do have the zend gdata framework installed and running on my server and is working correctly according to their test. Hi, I have just set up google analytics on my website but it is showing tracking unknown symbol in the status. Is it just the case of it taking time to set up or should it work straight away. Thanks Tyler 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 Hello everyone! I've searched a lot of places for a script like this and found nothing. Here's my situation. My site uses a main iframe that changes as you click links. However, Google links to all my pages, I only want it to access a few (because some pages are only meant to be viewed via iframe). I'm looking for a JavaScript that will detect if the page is being viewed in an iframe, if it is, it should take no action, but if it's no, it should redirect to a different page. Is this possible??? Here is some code i use in one of my functions. I was wondering if the text would be found by google and indexed? (It replaces text with another piece of text and a link) Code: $("#replace").html('<a href="javascript:location.reload(true)">Back Home</a>Apparently, Voynich wanted to have the mysterious manuscript deciphered and provided photographic copies to a number of experts.');
Hello. I have a problem. I use google map to show some points. I have to show all points for some region, and number of points gets to 4.000. So it takes some minutes to show all points. I use gif image-> size: 400 bytes I found http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/ and it takes only couple of seconds to load more 1000 markes. Does someone know how to resolve this? Thanks 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.

Hey I need some advice about Google translate, basically if you go to http://translate.google.com/#en|ja|Hello%20world and hover your mouse over the Japanese writing you will see it glow yellow ant allows you to click it to switch the text to something else to turn the string into the correct translation. What I want advice with is when I use the Google translate API am I able to obtain that list and output them onto my page. For example if a user writes in a textbox "Hello World" I want the API to return the list of possible translations for that string, something like this. Code: Language 1: en Language 2: ja String: Hello World ## Splits the string up by it's words -- Start Hello 1. こんにちは - Hi 2. ハロー - Halo 3. 挨拶 - Greeting 4. 投稿 - Posts World 1. 、世界 - World 2. 世界 - World 3. 世界の - World 4. 世界中 - Worldwide 5. の世界 - World ## Splits the string up by it's words -- End ## Uses each translated word to build a final list with all possible outcomes Hello World - (all possible outcomes) 1. こんにちは、世界 - Hello World 2. こんにちは世界 - Hello World 3. こんにちは世界の - Hello World 4. こんにちは世界中 - Hello world 5. こんにちはの世界 - Hello World 6. ハロー、世界 - Hello World 7. ハロー世界 - Hello World 8. ハロー世界の - Hello World 9. ハロー世界中 - Hello world 10. ハローの世界 - Hello World 11. 挨拶、世界 - Greetings, world 12. 挨拶世界 - Greetings the World 13. 挨拶世界の - Greetings World 14. 挨拶世界中 - Greetings Worldwide 15. 挨拶の世界 - Greetings World 16. 投稿、世界 - Post World 17. 投稿世界 - Post World 18. 投稿世界の - Post World 19. 投稿世界中 - Posts Worldwide 20. 投稿の世界 - Post World ## The final array that will be used for printing to the page. ## Only these have been chosen because the string equals the ## same but also the capital letters are the same as well. 1. こんにちは、世界 - Hello World 2. こんにちは世界 - Hello World 3. こんにちは世界の - Hello World 4. こんにちはの世界 - Hello World 5. ハロー、世界 - Hello World 6. ハロー世界 - Hello World 7. ハロー世界の - Hello World 8. ハローの世界 - Hello World How can I do this, with or without the use of Google's API???? i take an google suggestions code. view source... i hope that is the best "ajax google suggestions" code created... and try to understand it. someone can help to understand that javascript ? write remarks... formated code file attached + : Link1 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 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! 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>
Hi I have just started looking at the Google maps, and have atutorial that will get the co-ordinates. What I want this to do, is then populate two fields on a form one called longitude and one called latitude Code: function usePointFromPostcode(postcode, callbackFunction) {
localSearch.setSearchCompleteCallback(null,
function() {
if (localSearch.results[0]) {
var resultLat = localSearch.results[0].lat;
var resultLng = localSearch.results[0].lng;
var point = new GLatLng(resultLat,resultLng);
callbackFunction(point);
}else{
alert("Postcode not found!");
}
});
localSearch.execute(postcode + ", UK");
}
Any ideas/tips would be be much appreciated 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>
