ok, i see what your saying, but unfortunately i am straight shit when
it comes to writing custom javascript...
here's what i have already...
function searchLocations() {
var address = document.getElementById('addressInput').value;
geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(latlng) {
if (!latlng) {
alert(address + ' not found');
} else {
searchLocationsNear(latlng);
}
});
}
from what i see, that basically says, "if the user clicks the button
without entering an address,...or they enter an area that doesnt
contain a location within the given radius, echo 'results not found',
but if they do, find the locations"
so i guess i would have to write something like "if the user enters an
address...search the address...but IF they enter a 4 digit numeric
value, search based on the 'branch_id' row, and if they enter nothing,
echo 'results not found'
so i would take this from an IF/ELSE to and IF/ELSE/ELSE?
