Using "document.createTextNode"

[dcjones]

Hi All,

I am working on the script below. It works but what I want to to is:

When the page loads it shows a map with a text box containing text which is pulled from the PHP variable.

Code: Select all

document.createTextNode("<?php echo $_GET['des']?>"));

The output could be "this is a test message for the webmaster"

What I want is:

"this is a
test message
for the webmaster"

spliting the line of text over morethan one line.

Can anuone help, please.

Code: Select all

var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));
    map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
    map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(<?php echo $_GET['lon']?>, <?php echo $_GET['lat']?>), 2);
	
	var icon = new GIcon();
	icon.image = "http://www.google.com/mapfiles/marker.png";
	icon.shadow = "http://www.google.com/mapfiles/shadow50.png";
	icon.iconSize = new GSize(20, 34);
	icon.shadowSize = new GSize(37, 34);

	var marker = new GMarker(new GPoint(<?php echo $_GET['lon']?>, <?php echo $_GET['lat']?>)); 

	map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenterLatLng(),
       document.createTextNode("<?php echo $_GET['des']?>"));
	
  	map.addOverlay(marker);

Can you just insert
tags in the text to make it break?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply.

If I put
into the text which is stored in an sql database it does put a carridge return when the data is display in a normal php file.

But when I run the file with the javascript in it, the display is

From the A406
North Circular Road
North


This is driving me mad. Thanks again for any input you can give.

Try using .openInfoWindowHtml instead

Code: Select all

 map.openInfoWindowHtml(map.getCenterLatLng(), "<?php echo $_GET['des']?>");
