Javascript code working in IE and Mozilla but not in Mac

12 New Member

Hi guys

I have a script that uses the google maps geocoder and a html form to pass the javascript variable so to perl. Now all of this seems to work fine in mozilla firefoz and internet explorer but seems to fail when used on an apple mac.

This is a sample of the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

<title>Welcome to the Lothian Buses Dynamic Route Selector</title>

    <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=ABQIAAAA0j3m7rlEW8A2mxzuyAzXrRQ6jALPQpIWZWNXAFq4N3n_zdAATRSXIi4bVnf99msiXGgcZ9wmNmvEzA"

      type="text/javascript"></script>
 
    <script type="text/javascript">

    //<![CDATA[
 
    var map;

    var geocoder = null;

    var addressMarker;

    var originpoint = null;

    var destinationpoint = null;
 
    function load() {

      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

        map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

        map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());

        map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(55.950254, -3.187606), 10);
 
        geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

      }

    }
 
    function showAddress(address) {

      if (geocoder) {

        geocoder.getLatLng(address,

          function(point1) {

            if (!point1) {

              alert(address + " not found");

            } else {

              if (addressMarker) {

                map.removeOverlay(addressMarker);

              }

              addressMarker = new GMarker(point1);

              map.setCenter(point1, 15);

              map.addOverlay(addressMarker);

              originpoint = point1;

            }

          }

        );

      }

    }
 
      function setVars()

      {

          document.getElementById('orig').value = originpoint;

          return true;

      }

............... ...... And here is the html form that passes the variables:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false">

<input type="text" size="50" id="addressInput" name="address" value="Type your origin here" />

<input type="submit" class="style4" value="Show Origin" />

<div id="map" style="width: 300px; height: 200px"></div></td>

</form>
 
<form action="http://morar.geos.ed.ac.uk/~s0679212/cgi_bin/sql_test.pl" method="POST" onsubmit="return setVars();">

<input type="hidden" id="orig" name="Origin">

<input type="text" name="Time">

</form>

Can anyone suggest something might might be wrong with this? Or something I can change for Mac users?

Thanks in advance for your help

Heya, Harch.

What is it doing wrong on a Mac? Is this strictly related to Safari, or does it fail in Firefox on a Mac as well?

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
