* I'm also interested in using the Google maps API from Seaside. I am
far from
* an expert but it's possible to use an HttpRequest object to do
this from the
* server.
I solve it with: HTTPSocket httpGet:
url
* My question is why would you do it from the server when you could
make the
* request directly from the user's browser using the JavaScript
API?
My input from user's browser , based on Magritte, is a
string.
I'm not a javascript expert and i d'ont know how integrate it
with seaside field.
In the Google documentation i found this javascript but how
integrate it with my input data ?
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>
</html>
* I'm also wondering why you chose the static API instead of the
dynamic one.
* I haven't played with the static version and I'm curious about
its
* advantages.
When i accept the user's browser i call the API for
define the 'location' and after i browser a map for controll.
