I am new to JS, and have found the answer to a previous question, which brought up a new question, which brought me here again.
I have a Reveal Modal that contains a Google Map API. When a button is clicked, the Reveal Modal pops up, and displays the Google Map. My problem is that only a third of the map is displaying. This is because a resize trigger needs to be implemented. My question is how do I implement the google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize')? Where do I place this little snippet of code?
Here is my test site. Click on the Google Map button to see the problem at hand. http://simplicitdesignanddevelopment.com/Fannie%20E%20Zurb/foundation/contact_us.html#
The Reveal Model script:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myModal1').click(function() {
$('#myModal').reveal();
});
});
</script>
My Google Map Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(39.739318, -89.266507),
zoom: 5,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
</script>
The div which holds the Google Map:
<div id="myModal" class="reveal-modal large">
<h2>How to get here</h2>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:600px; height:300px;"></div>
<a class="close-reveal-modal">×</a>
</div>
UPDATE 2018-05-22
With a new renderer release in version 3.32 of Maps JavaScript API the resize event is no longer a part of Map
class.
The documentation states
When the map is resized, the map center is fixed
The full-screen control now preserves center.
There is no longer any need to trigger the resize event manually.
source: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/new-renderer
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
doesn't have any effect starting from version 3.32
There were actually a couple of problems with your source code.
initialize()
function is created, but never called$(document).ready
should be called after jQuery us loadedmap
should be a global variable (like @Cristiano Fontes said) and not a var map
click
event is never called. You're trying to combine the two methods Reveal from Zurb provides to open a dialog (one with JS, one with only HTML). You need to use the only JS method.#myModal1
is never located in the HTML).And now: Download the solution (Please provide us with a download/JSFiddle next time, so we don't need to create this ourselves).
Hope it helped!
