Two maps on the same page - Side-by-side

    How good I am feeling to post a code example after such a long time! It's been all "news" over the past so many posts! Well now that I am finally doing a code example, I am posting a very highly requested code sample. Placing two Google Maps on the same page (Now that's simple you would say!), but side by side. Now this is the thing that most people struggle with. Well, implementing the second part is also very simple, as you will see in today's code.

    Let's see the code. Here it is!



    The output of the above code will be as seen in the result section above.

    As most of you will realize, there are two maps, one centered at "Pune" and other at "Noida". Why I chose these two locations? Well, just like that!...The main issue of concern is how the maps appeared side-by-side and not one below the other as would be normal behavior of two "div" elements used in the same page. Now here is the trick! Check out the the first
tag. At the end of the line there is an attribute "float: left" which helps to align the contents of the "div" to the left!

    Omit the "float: left" attribute of the div tag and your maps will appear one below the other. Now, there would be many out there who would say, "Why not use the table?"..Well yes table can also be used to place the two maps side by side.

    Check out this space for more examples where there would be multiple maps on the same page! Do comment to let me know what you think about this post! Also, put in any requests for examples! Another thing is that, now that I am approaching a century of posts (have completed 84, including this one), do you have any suggestions? Do posts your feed-backs on the overall look and feel and content of the blog!

Retriving co-ordinates...

         We have seen 2 Google Maps API v3 examples wherein we have retrieved the latitude-longitude co-ordinates of the point of click on the map. In the first example we have displayed the co-ordinates in the information window and in the second , we have displayed the co-ordinates in a form in the information window.         Today we will create a code to retrieve the latitude longitude co-ordinates in a text box while simultaneously a marker appears on the map as well. So, here goes the code. <html> <head> <title> Google Maps API v3 - Adding marker on Click and retrieving the co-ordinates in a text box </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 fun...

Jquery Mobile - Listview with data-inset property

    In the previous post we looked at a basic example of the jQuery Mobile listview. The listview in jQuery Mobile stretches 100% of the width with sharp edges and straight corners. If you wish to have rounded corners for your lists you need to make use of the data-inset="true" property.     Lets take a look at the example below. The lists as seen in the result below have rounded corners as opposed to the straight edges in the example in the previous post, where we had not made use of the data-inset property. When we say that we did not use the data-inset property, we mean that the value of data-inset property is "false". UPDATE: The following example makes use of the next stable version of Jquery Mobile 1.3.1     Hope you have followed the post. Do let me know your feedback on the same and drop your commenets below.

Jquery Mobile Form - Flip toggle switch control

    A binary flip switch is a very common UI element in the mobile web world and was made popular by our very own iOS. This flip switch is used mostly for binary on/off or true/false data inputs. To create a flip switch or a toggle switch, start with a select with data-attribute="slider" and two options. Jquery Mobile would style this select as a regular flip switch with capsule corners and a a circular handle which can be either dragged from one end to the other or tap either sides of the switch.     The flip toggle switch is available in 2 flavors/sizes - regular and mini. Adding a data attribute data-mini="true" to the input tag renders a smaller sized flip switch. 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 flip switch. The first one is a regular flip switch with the label and the toggle button one below the other. The se...

Jquery Mobile - Introduction to form elements

    Jquery Mobile framework provides a complete set of finger-friendly form elements that are based on native HTML form elements. In the posts that will follow, we will take a look at the various form elements and the various properties that we can apply to these form elements.    We will be taking a look at all the form elements like input types, textareas, slider control, toggle switch, radio buttons, checkboxes and select menus. We will also be covering how to use the mini versions of each of these input elements, how to disable them, how to initialize them and how to use the refresh method on the form elements.     Hope you all enjoy the series on form elements like you loved the series on Jquery Mobile listview . Do drop a comment to let me know what you would want from this series and I would be happy to include those points. Share the word! Happy coding!
