Hi,



Is there a way to get entity values (including short name, long name, id) by clicking on a map entity using javascript?



For example,

Lets say I click on the State of Texas on a US map and an alert box pops up saying "You clicked on Texas (TX) , Value='1234', entity ID='TX'."



I am sure this is easy but I couldn't find a solution in the forums. Can someone please help with this or point to a link where a similar query is addressed?



*update: The DB Schema does not have Long Names stored for any entity so that is not an option.*



Thanks.

Hi,

In this case you need to use your own code in javascript so that it returns the entity values.

Ref.- 
<set label='USA' value='235' link="j-myJS-NA,235"/>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function myJS(myVar){
 window.alert(myVar);
}
//-->
 </SCRIPT>

Hope this helps.

Hey,



Thanks for the Code, but that was not what I was asking for. I specifically wanted to pull out long and short names of a map entity from the map object itself.



Anyways, I found the solution. The code is as follows:



In the chart XML:

<entity id='123' value='500' link='j-getEntityData-123'/>





//javascript Code

function getEntityData(id) {

var map1 = getMapFromId("mapid");

var entities = map1.getEntityList();//

var lName = "";

var sName = "";

for (i = 1; i < entities.length; i++) {

if (entities[i].id == id)

lName= entities[i].lName; sName= entities[i].sName;

}

alert("Long Name: "+ lName +", Short Name: "+sName);

}



Please let me know if there is a better solution than this.





Thanks.
