hello, i’m a newbie using ROR.
i have this function below inside my public/application.js and i’m
wondering whether i can replace “San Fransisco” and “New York” in this
command “setDirections(“San Francisco”, “New York”, “en_US”);” with
session[:address1] and session[:address2]…???
Please can anyone show me how to do it…

function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
alert(“kyaaaaaaaa”)
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
gdir = new GDirections(map,

One way (not the DRYest or most maintainable, but definately the
simplest and it will get you going) is in your view.html.erb file you
can put:
Thanks a lot Mikel… But now i really can’t try whether it’s working
or not… I think there’s something wrong with my internet connection
now… after i see you code, i’m wondering, if it’s possible to write
the code inside the application.js file like this code below :
"
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
alert(“kyaaaaaaaa”)
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
gdir = new GDirections(map,
application.js isn’t passed through erb, so no.
If I were you I’d make that initialize function take the 2 addresses
as its arguments and call it from somewhere where you do have access
to the session.
Thanks for the information Fred, i’m just confused from where i can
access the session…?? I still can’t try the Mikel’s solution, cause
i think there are troubles with my internet connection…
Mikel, I’ve tried what you suggested me to do. And the result is i got
an unknown error. After a few trial, i know that if i replace
“setDirections(”<%= session[:address1] -%>“, “<%= session[:address2] -
%>”, “en_US”);” with fixed command such as “setDirections(“new york”,
“boston”, “en_US”);” then the error will never showed up… In my
opinion, the setDirections function, somehow did not passing the right
parameters…
Where did you put that javascript? In the view template? Or in
application.js?

If you don’t mind, would you share me any opinion…
