I'm new to java and had a hard time understanding the examples here
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_categories.htm
and here
http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_MW_example_categories.html
compared to the google tutorial here
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlajax_v3.html
The first point to understand is that two checkbox examples break the
xml download and the marker creation into two separate steps.
In the google code, you create a bunch of variables and then, right
away, you put them into markers and bind the window with this code
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
icon: icon.icon,
shadow: icon.shadow
});
bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html);
In the checkbox examples, you take a detour over to the createmarker
function. In a way, the creation and binding are still included in the
'for' section of the xml parsing, but you might not realize that if
you are new to Javascript. Just as in the google tutorial, the 'for'
processes each node of xml; but then instead of creating directly, it
passes all of the details over to function createmarker for final
creation. Then the 'for' attacks the next node. Take a look at the
createmarker function in the two checkbox examples and you'll see code
similar to the above. Hope that saves someone some time. Now I am
about to attack the actual checkboxes.
