Thanks for the quick reply Brak, I appreciate it.
I'm still learning both PHP and JavaScript and have taken the code
from an example, so I don't know how to decode the "description"
variable in my JavaScript.
I guess it's this code I have to reverse:
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','>',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
I tried reversing the process by adding this function to my
JavaScript:
function parseToHTML($xmlStr)
{
$htmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$xmlStr);
$htmlStr=str_replace('>','>',$htmlStr);
$htmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$htmlStr);
$htmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$htmlStr);
$htmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$htmlStr);
return $htmlStr;
}
And then changing the description variable line like this:
var description = parseToHTML(markers[i].getAttribute("description"));
After that the map didn't load, so I guess I'm doing it totally wrong.
Care helping me out?
I agree that it would be more intuitive to put my description as the
content of my marker tag, but as I'm still learning I don't want to
risk messing the code up so I don't want to change anything until I
have a better grasp on things.
