Well i wouldn’t be so harsh as Mr “Bleah” but it doesn’t work in Firefox either. Anyway what i’d like to see in the working version would be the directions in a sortable list, in case user wanted to change his route. Thanks for the bits anyway, i’m learning this stuff so seeing it go wrong is helpful too.

please don’t fill web with bad articles!

that thing doesn’t work online (you say), so why put it on a web page? a zip archive is far better.
Nonsense.

And your coding style should be revised…
…well your code sucks… it’s not xbrowser… lol… we are in the 2010, not 1990…

Tommy,

Here’s what you can do:
1. Go to my demo page.
2. View -> Page Source
3. Save the HTML to your local drive.
4. Launch the page and try it out.

Doesn’t seem to work? i click on the Submit button but nothing happens. Double checked with multiple addresses, still doesn’t roll– This is in your demo. Any ideas?

Joey,

Here’s what you can do in the meantime:
Download the HTML\Javascript and run it at http://localhost using IIS on your own machine.

And let me know how that goes.

Hello Joey,

I think it has to do with your Internet Settings. Google.com and SandboxM.com both domains may not be part of your Trusted Sites and thats why IE8 is not allowing you to download the XML from a 3rd-party site (google.com). I tested the page using IE7 and since I wrote this tutorial back in June, its been a while.

I will investigate further and let you know. Check back soon!

Hey,

Great idea. I came to your website after i saw your link posted on Marcgrabanski.com. I was very impressed by his tutorial and result, but i was disappointed that he used random markers, instead of actual pre-defined ones.

An integration like this one, that is capable of showing directions in html, could be amazing in this website that i’m developing.

I visited your demo however and it doesnt seem to work.. No markers showed up and when i clicked on submit, nothing happened.. is it me? or my browser?

Hey,
your maps are gorgeous:)
I’m wondering, is there any possibility to anchor the markers to simple “a href” links with or without jQery? I use this example with “li”-s, but how can I make such markers that I can grab one by one (like links), not just list elements together? special IDs to each? or IDs to each wrapping div-s?
