Google Maps examples?

Anyone have an example (w/ source) of Seaside working with Google Maps?

I'm stumbling over a number of things, including how to get the <body
onload()="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()" > to work so it
initializes the map stuff.

Override #updateRoot: in your component. The attributes of the body
tag can be changed by accessing aHtmlRoot bodyAttributes.

That certainly helps, but I'm still having other problems. (For example,
the map controls will render
but the map itself doesn't.

Has anyone succeeded in making a working example?

Re: Google Maps examples?

I once experimented something... was kind of working but not nice code
at all as I tested lots of function (javascript mix with smalltalk
code) !

did you put your proper gmap key ? this could explain why the map is
not showing...

2 important method I guess

updateRoot: aRoot

super updateRoot: aRoot.
aRoot title: 'test GMAP'.
aRoot linkToScript: self class gmapKey. "link to your gmap key"
aRoot addScript: self gmapScript. "here put the google adress of js,
I had a local copy"
aRoot bodyAttributes
at: 'onload'
put: 'load()'.
aRoot bodyAttributes
at: 'onunload'
put: 'GUnload()'

renderGmapOn: html

html html: ' <div id="map" style="width: 950px; height: 400px"></div>'

Sorry I cannot spend more time on it, but this was working for me and
I can't really send you the code as it won't work.

no idea. maybe seaside encoding?? Have a look at the generated code...

Anyway, there must be a better way to do that in plain seaside like:

html div
id: 'map';
style: 'width: 950px; height: 400px'

or have a a CSS instead of inlined... width: and height: are not
defined for WATag (but in WAObjetctTag and WAImage).

How others would do that (cc'ing to seaside list again) ?
