    These are undoubtedly the best examples I have come across. Simple and easy to understand. I have found them most helpful. I would be eternally grateful if you could post an example that finds the user's current location and then calculates the route with directions to a fixed location. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Jquery Mobile Form - Slider control

    Input field of type range 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 range input type with capsule-corners and adds a circular handle to the slider.   The input's value is used to configure the starting position of the handle and the value is populated in the text input. Specify the min and max attribute values to set the slider's range. If you want to constrain input to specific increments, add the step attribute.   As you drag the slider's handle, the framework will update the native input's value (and vice-versa) so they are always in sync; this ensures that the value is submitted with the form.     The range 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 el...

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 ev...

Difference between word-break: break-all versus word-wrap: break-word

    The 2 CSS properties  word-break: break-all  and  word-wrap: break-word  appear to work in the same way or generate the same output, but there is a slight difference between the 2 and we will be discussing these differences today.     Take a look at the example above. The difference is quite evident, however I will try to explain it further. word-break: break-all Irrespective of whether it’s a continuous word or many words, break-all breaks them up at the edge of the width limit even within the characters of the same word word-wrap: break-word This will wrap long words onto the next line. break-word adjusts different words so that they do not break in the middle.     So if you have many fixed-size spans which get content dynamically, you might just prefer using  word-wrap: break-word , as that way only the continuous words are broken in between, and in case it’s a sentence comprising many words, the spa...

Reverse Geocoding

    The term geocoding generally refers to translating a human-readable address into a location on the map. The process of doing the converse, translating a location on the map into a human-readable address, is known as reverse geocoding. You can read more about geocoding here .     The Geocoder in Google Maps API v3, supports reverse geocoding directly. While geocoding, we supply a textual address and that gets mapped as a location on the map. However, in reverse geocoding, instead of supplying the textual address, we will supply a comma- separated latitude- longitude pair and get a textual address as the result. You can have a look at the geocoding example here , before proceeding to the reverse geocoding example.     The reverse geocoder often returns more than one result. Geocoding "addresses" are not just postal addresses, but any way to geographically name a location. For example, when geocoding a point in the city of Agra, India,...
