Can you modify the script that generates the xml?
Instead of outputting a single tag named 'description' which contains
all the information can it instead produce tags named 'name',
'address1', 'address2', 'website', 'number'?
Then you can use those tags rather than attempting to parse the single
description tag into separate tags within your javascript:
function createMarker(point, name, address1, address2, website,
number) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
var myHtml='<div><h3>'+names+'</h3><br /><h4>BUILD THE REST OF YOUR
STYLED HTML USING THE OTHER FUNCTION ARGUMENTS HERE</h4></div>';
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(myHtml);
});
return marker;
}
var request = GXmlHttp.create();
request.open("GET", "g_maps_xml.ashx", true);
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
var xmlDoc = request.responseXML;
// var descriptions = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName
("description");
var names = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("name");
var address1s = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName
("address1");
var address2s = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName
("address2");
var websites = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName
("website");
var numbers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("number");
var parks = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("park");
var points = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("point");
for (var i = 0; i < parks.length; i++) {
var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(points[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(points[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, names[i], address1s[i], address2s
[i], websites[i], numbers[i]);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
}
}
