JavaScript - External Link, Linked To Google Maps
I am trying to have a text link above Google Maps link to a marker on my map. When the link is clicked, the map will automatically center itself on the marker. I already have the custom markers and locations, I am just not that good with Javascript and jQuery to figure it out.
I tried to use Code: <a href="javascript: map.panTo(new LatLng(25.2, 105.7))">Mexico</a> and the link shows up, but nothing happens. Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

Similar TutorialsHi all , I need some help in altering the location tag and the View Larger Map links to open in a new window, currently it opens in the same window. I didn't set any links myself, they were already in the code that I got from Google Maps, I placed it on my page as a custom script. I tried to edit it myself and other frames on my page got all muddle up in preview !!!!! _THE CODE_ <iframe width="350" height="280" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.109574,-8.030563&spn=0.011328,0.022724&t=h&z=16&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.109574,-8.030563&spn=0.011328,0.022724&t=h&z=16&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> 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>

function loadSubPlace(File,ID,Msg,Eile,EID,Esg){

I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important. 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. 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>

If anybody help with this and tell me where I am going wrong, it would be much appreciated. 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>

// Add the latitude/longitude marker to the map

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 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 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 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>

Just need to properly add that to the end. I am okay at editing and adapting codes, but I don't know the sytax. Tried JSLINT but still confused. Probably quite simple. Thanks Hi guys, I am a new poster and new to google maps. I have been working on geocoding and I have a problem, the example below works fine, all rollovers and icons work perfectly. However, the info window will only display for one point. I am assuming I have this line of code in the wrong place. new google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {infowindow.open(map,marker);}); Can anyone please help me? I would be so appriciative. Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

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" />

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() {

});
return marker;
}

<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. 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 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) 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 |
