JavaScript - How To Populate Text Fields With Data From Google Maps
Similar TutorialsHello, 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">

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. Hi guys, Hopefully a really quick question. I'm a JS novice, and am looking for a way to output the coordinates of a Google maps marker into the value of two text fields, one for latitude and one for longitude. The code below is a simple location search which returns a result with a draggable marker. Currently, the coordinates in both text fields update when the location search is performed, but not when the marker is dragged to a new location afterwards. Does anyone know the code to simply update the coordinates each time the marker is dropped on a new location? Code: <html>

Many thanks in advance, I appreciate anyone who wants to help out! I am working on a page where the user will select a location from a dynamically generated dropdown list. I was able to create the php multidimensional array (tested and working) from a MySql database using the users information at login, but I'm having problems converting it to a javascript multidimensional array. I need to be able to access variables that I can pass to a number of text fields within an html form. For instance, if a user belongs to a company with multiple addresses, I need to be able to let them select the address they need to prepopulate specific text fields. php array creation: Code: if ($row_locations)
{
while ($row_locations = mysql_fetch_assoc($locations))
{
$mail[$row_locations['comp_id']]=array('mailto'=>$row_locations['mailto'], 'madd'=>$row_locations['madd'], 'madd2'=>$row_locations['madd2'], 'mcity'=>$row_locations['mcity'], 'mstate'=>$row_locations['mstate'], 'mzip'=>$row_locations['mzip'], 'billto'=>$row_locations['billto'], 'badd'=>$row_locations['badd'], 'badd2'=>$row_locations['badd2'], 'bcity'=>$row_locations['bcity'], 'bstate'=>$row_locations['bstate'], 'bzip'=>$row_locations['bzip']);
}
}
javascript function - this should create the array and send variables to text fields. Code: function updateAddress() {
var mail = $.parseJSON(<?php print json_encode(json_encode($mail)); ?>);
{
if (comp_id in mail) {
document.getElementById('mailto').value=mail.comp_id.mailto.value;
document.getElementById('madd').value=mail.comp_id.madd.value;
document.getElementById('madd2').value=mail.comp_id.madd2.value;
document.getElementById('mcity').value=mail.comp_id.mcity.value;
document.getElementById('mstate').value=mail.comp_id.mstate.value;
document.getElementById('mzip').value=mail.comp_id.mzip.value;
} else {
document.getElementById('mailto').value='';
document.getElementById('madd').value='';
document.getElementById('madd2').value='';
document.getElementById('mcity').value='';
document.getElementById('mstate').value='';
document.getElementById('mzip').value='';
}
}
}
Where is this breaking? Thanks in advance. 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);

I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important. I have two slightly different forms on the same page, but I want the values in form1 to auto populate the same form fields in form2. 1 field is a text field, the rest are drop down menus. How would I accomplish this? Link to tutorial would be much appreciated. Thanks
Ok so Im going to break down what Im trying to do and hopefully someone can point me to a possible solution without getting all technical. I have 2 div tags. the first is a content container more or less. the second is a container for a php built calender (using html tables). Basically when the page loads the php builds the calenders html table code. each td element has an onclick event handler. The goal is to have the javascript handler execute when any non empty cell is clicked (non empty being that it has a date associated with it and is not a blank space filler). This is the easy part. The hard part is that each calendar day potentially has certain information associated with it stored in a mysql database. Im wanting input fields within the first container div to autopopulate with the information from the database (if any) for whatever day is clicked. Ive search around and heard things like javascript cant do mysql queries directly, and heard mention of ajax. So im stumped as to how to accomplish this. whether i need an external php script for the queries (perhaps inside a php function that can return data to the javascript that calls it?), but if that is plausable would it cause page loads or the like to the user? i really dont want to have to learn ajax for this one page, just seems excessive, but i do need a way to make the content in the first div populate with the respective database data for the selected day on the calendar. any thoughts, comments, or solutions that dont involve yet another web language would be greatly appreciated. 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. 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 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>

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.

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.
Hey all I'm quite a newbie at javascript and I'm trying to have links to google maps markers. 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. We got a google maps with a bunch of pins. Each pin is setup to use our blue custom icon image. I'm trying to make it so that when you click on a pin, that particular pin changes to a green version of the icon, and all the reset stay blue. If the user clicks another pin, it turns green and the previous goes back to blue. Basicly only the clicked active pin should be green. Code: google.maps.event.addListener(markers[indx], 'click', function() {
this.setIcon("/images/greenmarker.png");
});
Here is my code so far that will change the clicked pin into a green version. My problem is all attempts to change all pins back to blue prior to changing this clicked pin to green fails bad. Anyone know how to do this or point me in the right direction? hello all, what i would like to implement is the following : http://mon.grnet.gr/network/maps/lite/?load&ip but, the problem is that, although the numerical data that show the traffic volume passing through a link are available to me, i do not have clue on how i can display them onto the map ... ? i would be thankful, if you could give me a piece of advice. 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. Hi, I'm making a javascript with google maps API. The concept is that you have to fill in your desired location and that it shows you the route to that location. It has an unchangeable starting location. I also made it so that you have a description panel. Now when I try to make it so that the description panel is next to the map with the route on, my description panel just drops below my map. I believe this problem is either me f*cking up my div's or my CSS. Here's what i used for my CSS <style type="text/css"> html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #map_canvas { height: 100%; width: 70% } #directionsPanel { float:right; width:30%; height 100% } @media print { html, body { height: auto; } #map_canvas { height: 650px; } } </style> And here's what i used for my div's <div id="main" style="width:100%;height:100%"> <div id="map_canvas" style="top:30px;width:70%;height:80%"></div> <div id="warnings_panel" style="width:100%;height:10%;text-align:center"></div> <div id="directionsPanel" style="float:right;width:30%;height 100%"></div> </div> Any help regarding this would be much appreciated. (And yes, I'm still new to scriptwriting/coding in general) I have a google static map which I spent ages trying to work out what to put in it and now it will not work, or be valid, so I am doing something wrong? Can anyone help Have I set it out the right way, I know it is static but it is still JS I believe. Code: <p><img alt="google_static_map" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.454863,0.011673&zoom=13&markers=United+Reformed+Church,+111+Burnt+Ash+Road,++Lee,+London+SE12+8RG,+UK&size=250x250&sensor=TRUE /></a></p> DO I need to put in it a div? I cant do iframes. My editor does not like it at all and it is not showing on the website. I am using XHTML 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 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;
}
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 |
