I'm trying to create a webpage that takes a location via a text box, and plots all recent earthquakes near that location on Google Maps.
I'm using Dreamweaver to debug my code, and the webpage works perfectly when I use the built-in live webpage feature it includes.
However, when I open the saved file in a browser, all I get is an error "Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ERROR". This isn't exactly helpful for figuring out what the issue is, and I have very little experience with web languages and developing web sites.
Any help or insight you can lend me would be greatly appreciated.

You are binding the click handler in the HTML:
<input type="submit" id="submit" onclick="codeAddress()" />
Done this way, the JavaScript is executed, but then the form is immediately submitted. You need to prevent the form from submitting. Remove the click handler from the html:
<input type="submit" id="submit" />
And bind to the submit handler in your JavaScript so that you can prevent the form from submitting. Add this to your JavaScript:
$(function(){
$("#geonamesFetch").on("submit", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
codeAddress();
});
});
Demo: jsfiddle.net/mZGL3/3/
Edit: The other problem you have is your call to $.ajax(). That method expects an object, but you are passing a function. You can either change your code to pass an object, setting the function you have now as the success property:
$.ajax(url, {
success: function(quakes) {
...
}
});
Or use $.get(), which accepts a function as the second argument:
$.get(url, function (quakes) {
...
});

You seem to be loading mixed protocol ressources.
And your jsFiddle seems to have a ressource missing (http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&sensor=true)
Fix your code to access NON httpS .. and try again.
Seen on your jsFiddle :
> Timestamp: 9/30/2013 3:40:41 PM Error: ReferenceError: google is not
> defined Source File: fiddle.jshell.net/mZGL3/show Line: 93
I updated your fiddle here, with the ressource, now, the error is : {"error": "Please use POST request"}

I have following code:

var mapOptions = {

As you can see I use hardcode values for map marker rendering:
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
Can I pass these values from parent page to popup?
Since you asked just how to pass from parent to pop up an option would be querystring parameters:
<a href=# onclick='showMap(-25.363882,131.044922)'>show map <a>
function showMap(lat,lng){
window.open('map.html?lat='+lat+'&lng ='+lng,'map','width=600,height=400');
}
Then in map.html collect those values and use..
Update: Collecting query string values can be done in a lot of ways see the options with a quick search
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
var lat = getParameterByName('lat');
var lon = getParameterByName('lon');
taken from : https://stackoverflow.com/a/901144/306921
You can also take a look at: Get query string parameters with jQuery
I tested and its all working:
resulting index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<a href=# onclick='showMap(-25.363882,131.044922)'>show map <a>

<script>
function showMap(lat,lng){
window.open('map.html?lat='+lat+'&lng ='+lng,'map','width=600,height=400');

and the resulting map.html:

var lat = getParameterByName('lat');

QueryString is a good way. However based on your requirement, You can also store it in parent page and read via javascript.
Storing value in parent page using dom:
<input type="hidden" id="lat" value="...."/>
You can also google to find how to store the data with window object itself(e.g window.myVar='xxx') and reading it from pop-up.
Accessing value in pop-page opened via window.open
var lat =window.opener.getElementById("lat").value;//use window.parent if opened as iframe
I'm using for first time the DirectionsManager to create routes in Bing Maps AJAX v7. The route is created correctly, but comes with two small "infoboxes" showing "A" at the start of the route, and "B" at the final. I want to remove those infoboxes, but honestly, after reading all the documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh312832.aspx) and "Binging/Googling" a while, I can't found anything helpful. Also, I tried every option inside setRenderOptions. Any ideas?
directionsManager = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.DirectionsManager(map);
directionsManager.resetDirections();
directionsManager.setRenderOptions({autoDisplayDisambiguation: false,
autoUpdateMapView: true, displayManeuverIcons: false, displayPreItineraryItemHints: false, displayPostItineraryItemHints: false, displayRouteSelector: false, displayStepWarnings: false, drivingPolylineOptions: { strokeColor: new Microsoft.Maps.Color(150, 255, 51, 51), strokeThickness: 8 }
});
directionsManager.setRequestOptions({ routeMode: Microsoft.Maps.Directions.RouteMode.driving });
var seattleWaypoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: '000 fake street, Houston TX 77000' });
directionsManager.addWaypoint(seattleWaypoint);
var tacomaWaypoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: '111 fake street, Houston TX 77111' });
directionsManager.addWaypoint(tacomaWaypoint);
directionsManager.calculateDirections();
One possible solution is to customize the pushpin to display blank pushpin with a small size (I've tried with another pushpin with 15x15 pixels size):
// Set the render options
directionsManager.setRenderOptions({
itineraryContainer: document.getElementById('itineraryDiv'),
displayWalkingWarning: false,
walkingPolylineOptions:{strokeColor: new Microsoft.Maps.Color(200, 0, 255, 0)},
waypointPushpinOptions: {icon:'pin_blank.png', height:1, width:1}
});
The other way might consist in calling the service by yourself and handling the request and response in your code. Here is an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427607.aspx

This is a beginners question about web programming. Basically I have a page that shows a default address using the Google Map API. It works fine looking up "221B Baker Street, London, United Kingdom", but there is a textbox that I would like to be able to write an address in and then look it up. It's an cshtml-page and I know of the razor syntax
#{if(IsPost) { do something }}
So basically I would like to take the Request.Form["FindAddress"]; from the textbox and and set it to the javascript myAddress variable so that the users address will be shown instead. But I don't know how to do it inline coding. It keeps giving me syntax errors when placing the IsPost-condition inside the -tag for the javascript functions. Here is the complete page

I haven't tried the below code, but I hope it will work. Basically I've put the conditional checking logic outside the script block and store the result in a variable and that is referenced in the javascript.
#{
var address = "221B Baker Street, London, United Kingdom";
if (Request.HttpMethod == "POST")
{
address = Request.Form["FindAddress"];
}
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var myAddress = "#address"; // how do I overwrite this if it is (isPost)?
var map;
var geocoder;
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(51.5, -0.1), 10);
map.setUIToDefault();
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
showAddress(myAddress);
}
}
function showAddress(address) {
geocoder.getLatLng(address, function (point) { if (!point) { alert(address + " not found"); } else { map.setCenter(point, 15); var marker = new GMarker(point); map.addOverlay(marker); marker.openInfoWindow(address); } });
}

I am trying to write a simple (in my head ;D) page where a user can enter a location and it be displayed on a map. In the background there should be some fields:
latitude, longitude, zoom
These should be updated when a user enters a new location, moves the map or changes the zoom level.
Please find my code below, I am using the Prototype lib for this. The initial loading appears to work but when the map is moved I recieve an error in the console of:
g.e is undefined - main.js line 20
and on Zoom, the event is not fired. When a text search is made, LocationFound complains that SetLatLong is not a function?
Please help, I have spent the past few hours going in circles!!! :(

This works
google.maps.event.addListener(this.gmap, 'dragend', function () { Map.MapMoved() });
The accepted answer doesn't make this obvious, but the issue here is that:
google.maps.event.addListener(this.gmap, 'zoom_changed', this.Zoomed());
Where:
Zoomed : function () { $('zoom').value = this.gmap.getZoom(); },
Notice specifically that the result of calling zoomed (ie. the undef that this.Zoomed() returns) is set as the event handler, not zoomed itself; the error here (g.e is undefined) is characteristic of passing an invalid value to a maps event handler API.
This code would work if it read:
google.maps.event.addListener(this.gmap, 'zoom_changed', this.Zoomed);
I'm fairly new at this. I'm trying to build a store locator and trying to figure out how to pass an input value from one page to another page. User would input their zipcode or address in a form on one page and the map and locations would be called on another page using the input.
I'm using ehound store locator platform (sample - here -> http://www.ehoundplatform.com/api/1....nd-google.html)

and the form itself would be on another page. Trying to pull the address input over. This obviously doesn't work

I've looked around on passing inputs via php and such, but this script seems to call on javascript as well and I'm having trouble implementing anything that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Attach a click handler to your form submission button, in the handler simply get the values needed from your form, build a query string with the needed parameters, and window.location.assign("yourotherpage.html?"+theQueryString). Then just pull the query string parameters in the javascript on the other page.
I am not sure what ehound is but in general there are 2 good ways to do this.
You just submitted a form which sends data to the server, so just have the server insert the data you need into the next page.
The specifics of how to accomplish this would be mostly dependant on what server you are using.
Or a non server approach:
store a cookie and then if the other page is on the same domain then you should be able to retrieve it.
Cookies are easy, http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html (you can skip the long and mildly confusing explanation about the specifics of cookies and just grab the script).
Another way you could pass the information around is in a hidden form element. This qustion is pretty similar and has some good advice.
