Hi All,
I have a little challenge with extensions. I am trying to include the GoogleMaps API. I know the solution on static maps but this is not satisfaying enough for my needs. Therefore I thought about writing my own extension. But for some reason I can't get it working. The below is a simplified extract, which simply loads the JS script from Google and then should create an object based on the Google API. Unfortunately, the execution stops after the alert("in") statement. I believe the latlng object can't be created because the Google Javascript is unknown (although loaded before).
Any ideas? Here is the code...
Qva.AddExtension('GoogleMaps', function() {
var script = document.createElement("script")
script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
script.setAttribute("src", "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true");
this.Element.appendChild(script);
script = document.createElement("script");
script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
this.Element.appendChild(script);
alert (this.Element.innerHTML);
initialize();
});
function initialize() {
alert ("in");
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(48, 8);
alert(latlng);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
}
cheers
Florian
