Thanks for the response.
I'm still a bit confused as to the relationship between the marker
objects and the second object which allows for the markers to be
hidden.
I assign the JSON object to a JavaScript variable/object statically
via a long string of JSON (var = [{"name":"Site1",
"long":"-105.0"...);. I'd like to be able to parse the JSON object
returned via the $.getJSON jQuery function and create that same string
dynamically but am having trouble bridging between the object returned
from the jQuery call and the variable assignment.
Here's the code that I'm struggling with:
<script type="text/javascript">
//assign url to php files to query database and build json
arrays
var camurl="buildcamjson.php";
//create arrays to hold marker objects for cams, public cgs and
private cgs
var cammarkerarray = [];
var camattributearray = [];
//Get JSON object
$.getJSON(camurl,function(json)
{
//loop through each json object and return primary key
and site
object creating a marker attribute for each object
$.each(json.campgrounds,function(i,cam)
{
//ASSIGN JSON OBJECTS TO VARIABLE HERE
}); //end $.each loop
}); // end $.getJSON function
//create array to hold public cg marker attributes
</script>
Here's the functional module with the long string statically entered
which works fine but is very poor technique:
$(function()
{
//create new roadmap object in map div centered on Colorado at
zoom
level 8
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'),
{
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(39.0, -105.5),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}); // end map block
//create new infowindow object
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
//assign url to php files to query database and build json
arrays
var camurl="buildcamjson.php";
var publiccgurl = "buildpubliccgurl.php";
var privatecgurl = "buildprivatecgurl.php";
//create arrays to hold marker objects for cams, public cgs and
private cgs
var cammarkerarray = [];
var publiccgmarkerarray = [];
var privatecgmarkerarray = [];
//create array to hold cam marker attributes
var camattributearray = [{ "pkID":"1",
"name":"CDOTJulesburgNorth",
"city":"Julesburg", "state":"CO", "longitude":"-102.247269",
"latitude":"40.967636", "operator":"CDOT", "url":"http://
www.cotrip.org/images/ws/camera?imageURL=72"}, three hundred
additional elements...
}];
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
