I have created a ASP script using geotools now which should loop
through all of the grid references in a database.

        response.write("<script type=""text/javascript"">" & vbcrlf)
        response.write("function initialize() {" & vbcrlf)
      response.write("if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {" & vbcrlf)
        response.write("var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById
(""map_canvas""));" & vbcrlf)
                response.write("//map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);" & vbcrlf)
        response.write("map.setCenter(new GLatLng(54.228719,
-1.027345), 6);" & vbcrlf)
      response.write("}" & vbcrlf)
    response.write("}" & vbcrlf)

    response.Write("</script>")

        i = 1
        do while not rs.eof
                id = rs.fields("id")
                'response.Write(i & "<br />")
                        response.write("<script langauge=""javascript"">" & 
vbcrlf)

                                response.write("var gr=""" & 
rs.fields("grid_ref") & """;" &
vbcrlf)
                                response.write("var osgb = new GT_OSGB();" & 
vbcrlf)
                                'response.write("document.write(gr)" & vbcrlf)

                                response.write("if (osgb.parseGridRef(gr))" & 
vbcrlf)
                                response.write("{" & vbcrlf)
                                        response.write("var wgs84 = 
osgb.getWGS84();" & vbcrlf)

                                        response.write("var lat = 
wgs84.latitude;" & vbcrlf)
                                        response.write("var long = 
wgs84.longitude;" & vbcrlf)

                                        'response.Write("document.write(long+"" 
""+lat)")

                                response.Write("initialize();") & vbcrlf
                                response.write("var info = new GMarker(new 
GLatLng(wgs84.latitude,
wgs84.longitude));" & vbcrlf)
                                response.write("map.addOverlay(info);" & vbcrlf)
                                
response.write("info.openInfoWindowHtml(""<strong>" & rs.fields
("grid_ref") & "</strong>"");" & vbcrlf)

                        response.write("}" & vbcrlf)

                        response.Write("</script>" & vbcrlf)

                i = i + 1
        rs.movenext
        loop

now once i run the page it loops through them all ok except that the
GLatLng in the GMarker is blank.

the source code looks like this

var gr="SD 80558 71330";
var osgb = new GT_OSGB();
if (osgb.parseGridRef(gr))
{
var wgs84 = osgb.getWGS84();
var lat = wgs84.latitude;
var long = wgs84.longitude;
initialize();
var info = new GMarker(new GLatLng(wgs84.latitude, wgs84.longitude));
map.addOverlay(info);
info.openInfoWindowHtml("<strong>SD 80558 71330</strong>");
}


any help to get these being filled in correectly?

many thanks.

Tom
