Hi,
I am trying to do a rails application that uses google map to allow
users to specify longitude and latitude and then the google map should
be updated to show that location which was specified.
I am using observe_field on the text field like this:
<%= observe_field 'geo_loc_cords',
:url => {:action => :update_map, :form_authenticity_token =>
form_authenticity_token},
:update => :map,
:with => ‘“cords=”+element.value’,
:loading => “Element.show(‘spinner’)”,
:complete => “Element.hide(‘spinner’)” %>
and my map div looks like this:
<%= @map.div(:width => 400, :height => 300) %>
and in the update_map action I have this (hardcoded the coordinates for
now):
def update_map()
latitude = 43.023849
longitude = -77.682053
@map = Variable.new(“map”)
point = GLatLng.new([latitude, longitude])
@marker = GMarker.new(point, {:title => "Site:", :info_window =>
“Site:”,
:draggable => true})
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js
end
end
And my rjs template simply looks like this:
page << @map.clear_overlays
page << @map.add_overlay(@marker)
Yet the result is simply outputted on the page as:
try { map.clearOverlays(); map.addOverlay(addInfoWindowToMarker(new
GMarker(new GLatLng(43.023849,-77.682053),{title : “Site:”,draggable :
true}),“Site:”,{})); } catch (e) { alert(‘RJS error:\n\n’ +
e.toString());
alert(‘map.clearOverlays();\nmap.addOverlay(addInfoWindowToMarker(new
GMarker(new GLatLng(43.023849,-77.682053),{title : “Site:”,draggable :
true}),“Site:”,{}));’); throw e }
What am I doing wrong to make the resulting javascript outputted on the
page rather than interpreted as javascript?
