Form info window

         Today we will look at a Google Maps API v3 example to add a form in the information bubble! This is usually required when we wish to accept some data/information from the user! This data can be saved to a server in the form of an XML file or a database! The information can then be retrieved back at a later stage, when necessary!

         In this example we will only look at form in the information bubble! The connectivity part with the server will be discussed in another post! So, today's code snippet is as seen below!

<html>
<head>
<title>
Google Maps API v3 - Adding marker and info window on Click and creating a form in the infowindow with the lat-lng information in it.
</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;    //When using event as a parameter to a function declare map, strictly as a global variable
function initialize()
{
    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(28.635157,77.22496);
      map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
    {
        zoom: 14,
        center: myLatlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event)
    {
        placeMarker(event.latLng);
    });
}
 
function placeMarker(location)
{
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker(
    {
        position: location,
        map: map
    });

    var coords= location.lat().toFixed(6) + ',' + location.lng().toFixed(6);

    var html = "<table>" +
                 "<tr><td>Name:</td> <td><input type='text' id='name'/> </td> </tr>" +
        "<tr><td>Location:</td> <td><input type='text' value = " + coords +" id='loc'></td> </tr>" +
                 "<tr><td>Cache Object Taken:</td> <td><input type='text' id='ctake'/></td> </tr>" +
                 "<tr><td>Cache Object Placed:</td> <td><input type='text' id='cput'/></td> </tr>" +
                 "<tr><td></td><td><input type='button' value='Save' onclick='saveData()'/></td></tr>";

    var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(
    {
        content: html
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function()
    {
        infowindow.open(map,marker);
    });
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 100%; height: 100%"></div>
</body>
</html>

         The output of the above code will look as seen below!

CSS Text and Font

    In this post today, we will take a look at some of the most interesting CSS text and font properties listed below. text-transform white-space word-break word-spacing word-wrap font-variant Text-transform property:     Let's begin with the text-transform property. The filler text used in all the examples below has been taken from Andy Matthew's filler text generator which is a humorous replacement to the traditional boring lorem ipsum .     The text-transform property will turn your text to uppercase, lowercase and also will capitalize the first character of every word. So now you don't need any javascript to do your bidding. This transformation will be done irrespective of the special characters preceding and following the text characters. The following example will make things much more clear and editable of course =) White-space property:     The next property to explore is the white-space  proper...

Jquery Mobile Form - Search input

    Input field of type search is newly introduced in HTML5 and is very well styled. The style is further enhanced when using the Jquery Mobile framework and we will see how this can be done in today's post. Jquery Mobile styles the search input type with capsule-corners and adds a 'x' icon to the right end, which clears the text in the search box.      The seacrch input elements are available in 2 flavors/sizes - regular and mini.   Adding a data attribute data-mini="true" to the input tag renders a smaller sized input element. Let's take a look at the code sample below to understand the working in a better way.      In the code above, you will see 4 different implementations of the input search element. The first one is a regular input of type search with the label and the searchbox one below the other. The second implementation is exactly similar to the first implementation with the only difference of the added data attrib...
