Nextmatch and Google Maps

[tarantir]

Looking for some pointers or sugestions with a fun function for a Radio Logbook Application.

I am developing a class with a Nextmatch, the rows contain Latitude and Longitude. I want to plot or mark those coordinates on a Google Map. My question is; how can I read the coordinates for the displayed NM rows into an array which I can then feed into my map function.

The map is displayed via an HTML field within the eTemplate containing the nextmatch. So when you open the form you have the map and then 15 rows of nextmatch. The basic mechanics are working, nextmatch rows are returning and map is rendering, I just can’t figure out how to retreve the cordinates from the displayed rows for use in the map function.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Randy

The following is applicable to 1.8, but not so much trunk.

Two ways to consider

1. Server side, write some javascript that contains an array of lat,lon
   pairs, and send it to the page

2. Try jQuery to run over the page. If you assign a ‘latitude’ class to
   the latitude column, jQuery(’.latitude’) will find them all.

Nathan thank you for the reply, I went with the jquery method.

I included the logic, to inspire other novice developers

$content = array(
‘map’ => ‘

’,
);
