google map selector

[racerxfactor]

1) Script Title: google map selector

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/googlemapselector.htm

3) Describe problem: having a problem changing map links, when i add a link via google maps link, the functionality breaks for the script. for example, i try to change the first link from

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Eiffel+Tower,+Champ+de+Mars,+Paris,+France&sll=43.667872,-79.378796&sspn=0.041349,0.111494&ie=UTF8&hq=Tour+Eiffel&hnear=Tour+Eiffel,+Parc+du+Champ+de+Mars,+75007+Paris,+Ile-de-France,+France&ll=48.858842,2.294362&spn=0.004701,0.013937&z=17&iwloc=A

to

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Los+Angles+Multifamily+%26+Income+Property,+West+Sunset+Boulevard,+Los+Angeles,+CA&hl=en&sll=34.088401,-118.201538&sspn=0.241112,0.2314&oq=los+angle&t=v&hq=Los+Angles+Multifamily+%26+Income+Property,&hnear=W+Sunset+Blvd,+Los+Angeles,+California&z=13

the whole thing breaks, map is not loading in the page and the rest of the links are busted as well.

The demo appears to work fine so maybe there is something on your actual page that is conflicting/causing issues.

Please post a link to your page so we can see the problem first hand.

i considered that the site that i'm working on, has different relative paths i.e. js/googlemapselector.js and css/googlemapselector.css but i've recreated the problem here:

i just tried changing the first link from france to los angeles and thus recreated the issue i'm having

and here's the page as default

I tested it here and it seems that if your linked map uses Google's secure https:// URL, the script will do the redirect thing.

Remove the 's' from the URL (http://) and everything works fine.

I just submitted a bug report so hopefully it can be addressed/documented by ddadmin.
