Hi Jeremy,
May thanks for the help again - it's very much appreciated. I have the
postcode checker working for the UK format, but unfortunately I cannot
get the line;
gsmsc.ls.addQueryAddition('Football Ground');
.....to work. If I add it where you mention after the final } it
causes the a load failure.
The full code is here:
http://yourpaste.net/1299/
This is a snippet of he code
#
var gsmsc=new GSmapSearchControl(
document.getElementById("mapsearch"),
"SWFC, Hillsborough, Sheffield, S6 1SW",
options
);
}
gsmsc.ls.addQueryAddition('Football Ground');
// arrange for this function to be called during body.onload
// event processing
GSearch.setOnLoadCallback(LoadMapSearchControl);
</script>
<!-- ++End Map Search Control Wizard Generated Code++ -->
#
Any ideas why it doesn't load?
