Google map api v3, troubles setting mutiple markers using checkboxes

JavaScript
21

A closing quote?

I’ve been serious on JavaScript for around 6 years, with several more of dabbling before that.

JavaScript has become the language of choice for scripting web pages, so I don’t see it being replaced for the next 5 to 10 years. Beyond that is anyone’s guess.

Isn’t the html using this instead of quotes html=’ ’
I tried to use html=" " but then the markers stopped working when I done that. I have looked online for how to do this but all the examples I have seen use seperate tags, whereas all mine is in one marker tag.

I’ll keep searching.

Thanks!

23

Oh good, I didn’t see the closing quote to the right.

There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with the xml you posted.
Where is the full xml file located?

24

The xml file is located in the same directory as all the other files, the html, javascript and iimage folders. The page works fine but its just missing the link

MAp page

Thanks!

25

Ahh, your map page is now in a different location from where it was previously. That helps to explain things.

Now, what link is missing?

26

Sorry I moved it as its the best version!

The html in the xml should contain links such as BBC - Homepage but when I put that in the html, the code breaks, so I removed the urls from all the html parts of the markers, so none of the links work, yet.

Thanks!

27

Please provide the xml code you are trying to use for one of the non-working links.

Sorry I had to step out for a bit.

Here is the code in the xml file paul:

Okay, you have code that gets the attributes for address/name/category

Your code doesn’t yet make use of the html attribute.


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");

Are you asking me how to include the use of the your xml attribute called html?

Could it be that this is what you’re asking about?


var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
[color="green"]var html = markers[i].getAttribute("html");[/color]
[s][color="red"]var [/color][/s]html = "<b>"+name+"<\\/b><p>"+address[color="green"]+"</p>"+html[/color];
var category = markers[i].getAttribute("category");

Paul that got it working, thanks again, I think I can leave you alone now, hopefully! :slight_smile:

I added the extra line and removed the var and it does what I want now, so thanks a lot!!
