Access tags within setDataXML

[wmorris20]

Before switching to FusionMaps, I used an imagemap with an ajax call to dynamically call another page in a cluetip window with the specific location (marker) parameters. I'd like to continue with a similar setup; however, I'm having troubles accessing the XML tags within the setDataXML() method.

 

 

 

My attempts so far have been trying to assign a javascript function to the 'link' property of the marker.

 

 

 

Do you have any examples that may help me?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ward

I've been messing around with the Drill Down demo, but I've run into an issue with the string delimiter. Your demo uses an external xml sheet but I need to call setDataXML().

 

 

 

I get 'invalid XML data' for

 

 

 

link='JavaScript:myJS("356, blah");'

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

link="JavaScript:myJS('356, blah');"

 

 

 

I've also tried each scenario with the back slash delimiter without any luck.

Hi,

Could you please try using j-{user function name}-{parameter} format for the JavaScript link?

Ref.- http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs?/DrillDown/JavaScript.html

For example :-

<set...link="j-myJS('blah', 356)"/>

Hope this helps.

That won't work, because it looks something like this:

 

 

 

setDataXML("<marker id='001' link="j-myJS('blah', 356)" /&gt")

 

 

 

No matter which way I order the single and double quotes, there's a conflict with the setDataXML quotes.

Hi Ward,

Could you please try using the internal ID of the Iraq Map referring to the link below :-

Hope this helps.

I think you may have a typo in the first link. It just takes me to the main FusionMaps doc location.

I was never able to successfully reference the internal IDs of the markers and use ajax cluetips; however, I wrote this script which simply shows/hides a div with a XMLHttpRequest call:

 

 

 

function map_popup(id, title, worktype, programphase) {

 

 

 

openPopup(true, "map_popup");

 

var element = document.getElementById('map_popup');

 

 

 

var http = new XMLHttpRequest();

 

var url = "./../requesthandler/request_handler.php";

 

var params = "title=" + title + "&id=" + id + "&worktype=" + worktype + "&programphase=" + programphase + "&requestType=info";

 

http.open("POST", url, true);

 

 

 

//Send the proper header information along with the request

 

http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

 

http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);

 

http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

 

 

 

http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.

 

if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {

 

element.innerHTML = http.responseText;

 

}

 

}

 

http.send(params);

 

}
