Hi,

I am trying to develop demo of Ebase with google maps.

By clicking on google maps the javascript will populate the geocode data in form fields. I am well aware on google maps side what needs to be done.

Just confused on Ebase side, is there anyway to pupulate the form fields in javascript?

If anybody already done integration please help me out.

Thanks,
Sid

Sid,

You can set the special system variables $USERVAR1, 2 and 3 by using the setFieldValueExternal Javascript method. Search on setFieldValueExternal in the online documentation and you should see an example. This documentation also shows you how to submit the Ebase form if you want to do this.

Hi,

Thanks for coming back to me quickly.

Here are the steps which i followed.

1. Created simple Ebase form with gmap (label) and latitude and longitude as form fields.

2. Added div tag to gmap to place the google map.

3. Html++ aaded script to load google map and setting the value of $USERVAR1 on the click event of the map.

Now i dont have any other way to copy the value set in $USERVAR1 to latitude and longitude fields, i tried to use the control field but it will put value after i user externalSubmit() funtion and which will take me on next page.

Summary - When click event is fired on map i am executing the setting $USERVAR1 value and then i need to passon this value to form fields.

Regards,
Sid

The $USERVAR variables will require the form to be submitted.

If you just wanted to display the values in some fields for the user, what you could do is create your own HTML input fields (with an ID) in an Ebase Label field. These will really only bwe for display purposes.

You will then have access to the input field from javascript using getElementByID.

You would still use the $USERVAR variables to submit the values back to the form and set it to actual Ebase form fields.

Hope that helps.
