I'm trying to polish up an implementation of Google Maps as a sort of international airport support directory for a free European flight planning website I have in development (www.eurofpl.eu -- requires quick registration), but I have just a couple non-critical elements I need to figure out for the sake of usability and all-around awesomeness...
*** SOURCE CODE *** http://paste-it.net/public/b7be61c/ I've gotten this far just checking out example code, but I'm still a fledgling programmer, having just taught myself a bit of php, MySQL, and JavaScript over the past few months. http://www.holland.aero/site_example.jpg The image above shows it in action, kinda. The user has just selected to view aviation services at EKRK Roskilde airport in Denmark (really just a 'aviation' GlocalSearch() centered around the airport's lat/ lon). One pin is set up for the geocode 'EKRK', to mark the airport itself and then unique markers go up for the results, also listed in a div right below the map. Awesome, BUT... NON-CRITICAL ELEMENT #1: When you click on a link in the results div, for instance "Cam Aviation A/S" or "Dao Aviation A/S" as seen in the image linked above, a new window pops up taking the user to the Google Maps profile of that location. I'd much rather the results div link merely select/panTo the corresponding marker on the map, opening the InfoWindow, with the Google Maps profile and directions to/from links presented normally. The example at: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/control-local... ...has this desired behavior, but it also has a bazillion things I don't need, and what seems to be a dependency on the search box form I couldn't figure out how to work around. NON-CRITICAL ELEMENT #2: The other thing is being able to somehow insert an A, B, C, D, etc. before each results in div below. I'm thinking I might be able to achieve this with the appendChild and node stuff but I'm still having difficulty kinda, picturing how it's all coming together. Again the control-localsearch.html does this but I'm not sure exactly how. Something with creating a table on the fly I think. But yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't need specifics or the entire code written out for me, but if anyone has any ideas on how they'd approach achieving these two goals, what would have to change, etc, any suggestions and guidance would be much appreciated.
