Posting this problem again, in a clearer fashion. Hopefully someone can shed some light.
Here is some background information: 1. My RDBMS is MySQL 2. Communication between web and database is using CGI/PERL. 3. Do not want to use PHP. 4. DO want to use Google Maps API/Google Visualization API Essentially it is a user-defined query which is selected then sent to the DB. The query is run and results are printed out to an XML spreadsheet using a Perl module called XML::Handler::YAWriter and XML::Generator::DBI. Then comes the Javascript which parses the XML spreadsheet using GDownloadURL (More info here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#XML_Request). It reads in the data and I have some parsing going on and then adding it to the data table. Here is my code thus far, feel free to use it. <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps? file=api&v=2&key=..." type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http:// www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load("visualization", "1", {packages: ["table"]}); google.setOnLoadCallback(drawTable); var data; //Setting up the table function drawTable() { data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Id'); data.addColumn('string', 'PI'); data.addColumn('string', 'Cruise Info'); data.addColumn('string', 'Date and Time'); data.addColumn('string', 'Latitude'); data.addColumn('string', 'Longitude'); data.addColumn('string', 'Depth'); data.addColumn('string', 'Name'); data.addColumn('string', 'Value'); data.addRows(23); GDownloadUrl("...", function(dataXML, responseCode) { if(responseCode == 200) { var xml = GXml.parse(dataXML); var idD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("data_id"); var piD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("pi"); var ciD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("cruise"); var dtD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("date_time"); var latD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("latitude"); var lonD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("longitude"); var depD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("depth"); var nameD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("name"); var valD = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("value"); for (var i = 0; i < idD.length; i++) { id = idD[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue; pi = piD[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue; ci = ciD[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue; dt = dtD[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue; lat = latD[i].childNodes [0].nodeValue; lon = lonD[i].childNodes [0].nodeValue; dep = depD[i].childNodes [0].nodeValue; name = nameD[i].childNodes [0].nodeValue; val = valD[i].childNodes [0].nodeValue; data.setCell(i, 0, String(id)); data.setCell(i, 1, String(pi)); data.setCell(i, 2, String(ci)); data.setCell(i, 3, String(dt)); data.setCell(i, 4, String(lat)); data.setCell(i, 5, String(lon)); data.setCell(i, 6, String(dep)); data.setCell(i, 7, String(name)); data.setCell(i, 8, String(val)); } } else if (responseCode == -1) { alert("Data request timed out. Please try later."); } else { alert("Request resulted in error. Check XML file is retrievable."); } }); var table = new google.visualization.Table (document.getElementById('table_div')); table.draw(data, {showRowNumber: true}); } </script> <div id="table_div"></div> It works, albeit some problems. 1. The table prints out, however, all I get is a blank table (but the values are there). I need to be able to see it when the page loads. I can see the populated table by clicking on one of the column names but obviously that's not what I would like to have. Problem: Page Load -> Empty Table Temporary Solution: Page Load -> Empty Table-> Click on Column Name -> Can see all the table values Need Solution: Page Load -> Populated Table 2. Dynamic rows. Would like to be able to set the row size based on size of returned results. Cannot do so right now. For example: doing data.addRows(idD.length) is not possible. Problem: No dynamic row count Temporary Solution: Hard code row count Need Solution: Dynamic Rows. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
