Mike,
I got it! Finally!
You were on the right path when you suggested setDirections("44512", "", "",
"", "955 Windham Court, Boardman OH 44512", "en_US");. Instead, since
everything gets loaded from the HTML in hidden fields, I just tossed out the
entire line altogether. It now works, without errors, perfectly.
Because the site that I have been referencing is not going to be there
forever, here's the code for anyone looking to do this.
I now have the setDirections function as follows:
function setDirections(fromStreet, fromCity, fromState, fromZipcode,
toAddress, locale) {
gdir.load("from: " + fromStreet + ", " + fromCity + ", " + fromState +
" " + fromZipcode + " " + " to: " + toAddress,
{ "locale": locale , "getSteps":true});
}
In the webpage the <form> tag must include an onsubmit entry that says the
following:
onsubmit="setDirections(this.fromStreet.value, this.fromCity.value,
this.fromState.value, this.fromZipcode.value, this.to.value,
this.locale.value); return false"
And then in the form itself, you would need the following:
<input type="text" id="fromStreet" name="fromStreet" value=""
style="width: 190px;background-color:#ffffff;border:0px"/>
<input type="text" id="fromCity" name="fromCity" value="" style="width:
190px;background-color:#ffffff;border:0px"/>
<input type="text" id="fromState" name="fromState" value=""
style="width: 190px;background-color:#ffffff;border:0px"/>
<input type="text" id="fromZipcode" name="fromZipcode" value=""
style="width: 190px;background-color:#ffffff;border:0px"/>
<input type="text" style="display:none" id="fromAddress" name="from" />
<input type="text" style="display:none" id="toAddress" name="to"
value="955 Windham Court, Boardman OH 44512"/>
where line 6's value the the to: address.
This can now easily be modified to allow for both a FROM: and a TO: location
with just a few edits.
Thanks to Mike for lending his brilliance!
