Google Maps

So that's all that's in the file? Nothing before or after the <markers> tags? And the file is named ???.xml. That shouldn't be too hard.

You would need four form fields, right? Latitude, longitude, text and URL.

Actually, it would be great if you could post your entire php article code. I could just build on that and put the form below the map.

Hmm, i have a normal article with html, not php. (was wrong when i said php earlier)

This is my code, You need a API key of your own from google as mentiont earlier in the post. And there is ana example xml file at googles documentation page here: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ look at "Using XML and Asynchronous HTTP with Maps"

My map page is here : http://www.hsdk.no/v2/smf/index.php?page=19 For some reason the page won`t show the map in IE, but i havent had the time to look at it yet. As mentiont my coding skills aren`t exactly... yeah.. you see

Hope you we could make this work

I think I have it. Thanks.

A real problem that it won't work in IE. I've been trying to get it to work and it keeps saying that my API key doesn't match the website. Maybe that's an IE issue as well.

I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can get it to work.

With an html file, you can probably add the form and then have some sort of separate file to process it. I'll have to think about it a bit.

I think I'm going to have to defer to someone who knows more about javascript. Since the map uses javascript, it would probably be better to have it read the form and write the data, rather than trying to mix javascript and php.

hsdk · November 03, 2006, 04:50:08 PM

Okey, let`s bring on the javascript guys then. Where are they?

Could it be the div-tag thats screws up IE?

I don't know what the problem is with IE. I was looking in their discussions and it seems that a lot of people can only get it to work with IE. I'm thinking with our particular situation it may be that IE doesn't like having multiple <html> and <body> tags. But it could be something else. The phase of the moon, or something.

It would be a fun thing to have, but the vast majority of my members use IE, so unless I can figure out how to get to work with IE, it wouldn't be a whole lot of use.

hsdk · November 03, 2006, 05:21:40 PM

I have seen it used on a another site, and it works throug IE there. link: http://www.dykkesiden.com/vrak/mapOverview.php
soooo, i don`t know, it must be somthing we "do"

Hope someone will fix this, my useres really likes this one

That actually doesn't have anything to do with you. It has to do with the referrer. If the page you're testing is on a server (or just on your desktop), you will get this error message every time. It's to prevent extreme bandwidth consumption and to prevent others from using your API key. The best way to test would be to have hsdk setup a temp ftp login and folder for you to test off of or to have hsdk list your IP address as a referrer in hdsk's google API config.

P.S. I'm not using xml. I'm never going to update my page so I didn't need it but here's the basics... You can view at http://www.sadisticpleasures.org/index.php?page=11
