Linking to maps - 3/31/2008 11:56:41
Hi
I have a search that produces a list of companies. One of the fields against each company is a zip code. I would like to build some text around the zip code to make it into a zip.
The code I have is http://maps.google.com/maps?q=,+MI+48084,+United+States+of+America&sa=X&oi=map&ct=image
The code 48084 is the sample zip code that I used in my test link. This is the google maps code I would like to use.
Iwould like that zip code to be replaced by the zip code field results and the the whole thing to be a hyperlink. I think its possible, but I can't quite get my head around the approach I need to take.
Any ideas?
Steve

Are you using a DRW or just ASP? Either way, it would look similar. Something like:
<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=,+MI+<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"CompanyZIPCode")%>,+United+States+of+America&sa=X&oi=map&ct=image">Map</a>
An FP DRW might look something like that. That help any?

I just went back and played around and came up with exactly that! Thank you.
At the moment I have the link displaying the word MAP next to the zip code. Ideally I would like to have the zip code displaying and being the link. I have tried to use <%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"CompanyZIPCode")%> as the text to display but that is not allowed for some reason. Can you see any other way around it?

If you tried to use it like this:
<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=,+MI+<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"CompanyZIPCode")%>,+United+States+of+America&sa=X&oi=map&ct=image"><%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"CompanyZIPCode")%></a>
that is just how I'd do it. Can you explain more about it not allowed? Does the DRW error or something?
