I''ve recently been looking at Mapstraction as a way to make it easier
for me to support more than one mapping service, mainly Google Maps and
Microsoft''s Virtual Earth. However, I seem to be running into a lot of
errors when trying to use Mapstraction with IE7 and Virtual Earth.
As an example, I get a "Not Implemented" error when I load the many of
the demos. This appears to be happening in the resizeTo method on the
line that reads "self = this;". It appears that this was fixed in
revision 164 by ajturner, but was re-introduced with the changes in
revision 175 with the namespaced changes by Derek Fowler. Changing the
variable references back to "myself" in the resizeTo function fixed
the
Not Implemented error, but I''m getting other runtime errors as well.
Marker.OpenBubble also throws the error "this.maps is null or not an
object" on this line:
// bloody microsoft -- this is broken
var el = $m(this.pinID + "_" +
this.maps[this.api].GUID).onmouseover;
And if I click in the map and drag it, when I let go, I get
"view.LatLong is null or not an object" on this line
this.maps[api].AttachEvent("onclick", function(e) {
me.clickHandler(e.view.LatLong.Latitude, e.view.LatLong.Longitude, me);
});
Since I''m kind of new to this sort of development and Mapstraction,
I''m
wondering how much testing is done on IE7 and Virtual Earth? Do these
seem like legitimate errors?
Thanks,
Tim
Dear all, I''m also having problems with IE7, and I''ve not seen any replies to Tim''s message below. IE seems to have problems with several of the demos. I would really like to use Mapstraction, but I don''t want to start using it and then find out that the majority of visitors have problems! I have tried opening the demos in both IE6 and IE7, to the same effect:- * "Single Page with several maps" - Not implemented (line 720) (as reported by Tim Trentham) * Image Overlay - completely blank screen - all white (^^) * Map Tiles - completely blank screen - all white (^^) * Polylines - Not implemented (line 1147) (++) * Geocoding - Not implemented (line 1147) (++) * Routes - Not implemented (line 1147) (++) (^^ Sorry I can''t be more helpful here - I literally just get a blank screen!) (++ This problem is in setCenterAndZoom ) I also get a problem opening the Fullscreen demo - ''this.layers[...].map'' is null or not an object. However, this looks like it''s a problem in v1.2.145 of Multimap''s code. Please could somebody who is a bit more familiar with the code than I am have a look into this? Many thanks, Andy Turner (not the eponymous project leader!)

Indeed, hopefully this doesn''t get confusing re: multiplicative names :) Unfortunately (with regards to solving this problem), I don''t have IE or Windows installed anywhere accessible - and am also not an expert in debugging IE JS problems. Can anyone with IE dev experience, or someone they know, help with these problems? I can fix the general problems, but then need someone to test the changes.

I thought I might have a quick look at this (not there is much hope of my fixing anything). The first issue I have is that in demo-microsoft.html the virtualearth script is included by <script src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v3/mapcontrol.js"></script> Whereas in demo.php?map=microsoft it is <script src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6"></script> Does anyone know what it should be? Not that either of them work well for me in IE6 or 7, perhaps they are both wrong.

Attempting to get mapstraction demos going with microsoft virtual earth I have a different problem which seems to be nothing to do with mapstraction but is due to the fact that the js that loads the map cannot be inside a div. So www.yvonnesplants.co.uk/ms1.html works but www.yvonnesplants.co.uk/ms2.html pops up an error ''Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site www.yvonnesplants.co.uk/ms2.html''. Both are ok in FF I get the same error with the mapstraction demos, moving the js to the end of the body fixes it. Does this make any sense to anyone? I get the same symptom with IE6 and IE7 Colin
Due to a missing dot the final paragraph below is ambuiguous. It should have read: Both are ok in FF. I get the same error in IE with the mapstraction demos, moving the js to the end of the body fixes it. Does this make any sense to anyone? I get the same symptom with IE6 and IE7.
