Adding Multiple Instances of Google Places on Same Page
I'm looking to include 2 instances of Google Places auto-complete on the same page. Looking to setup an input for a Pickup Location and an input for a Dropoff Location.
I'm assuming it has to do with the ID of the input element, but even when I changed it to a class, it still wasn't working.
This is what I currently have, and it works for the first field, but I can't figure out how to get a second input field to auto complete, or even show any signs of being anything other than a plain input text field.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&libraries=places"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var placeSearch,autocomplete;
function initialize() {
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(document.getElementById('autocomplete'), { types: [ 'geocode' ] });
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
fillInAddress();
});
}
function fillInAddress() {
var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
for (var component in component_form) {
document.getElementById(component).value = "";
document.getElementById(component).disabled = false;
}
for (var j = 0; j < place.address_components.length; j++) {
var att = place.address_components[j].types[0];
if (component_form[att]) {
var val = place.address_components[j][component_form[att]];
document.getElementById(att).value = val;
}
}
}
</script>
HTML
<body onload="initialize()">
<form action="" method="post" name="theform" id="theform">
<label>Pickup Location</label>
<input type="text" name="PickupLocation" onfocus="geolocate()" placeholder="Enter your pickup location" id="autocomplete" autocomplete="off" />
<label>Dropoff Location</label>
<input type="text" name="DropoffLocation" onfocus="geolocate()" placeholder="Enter your dropoff location" id="autocomplete2" autocomplete="off" />
</form>
</body>
Answer
A more dynamic approach. You don't need to initialise your element ids.
var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('query');
var options = {
types: ['(cities)'],
componentRestrictions: {country: 'fr'}
};
var autocompletes = [];
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(inputs[i], options);
autocomplete.inputId = inputs[i].id;
autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', fillIn);
autocompletes.push(autocomplete);
}
function fillIn() {
console.log(this.inputId);
var place = this.getPlace();
console.log(place. address_components[0].long_name);

<input id="query-0" class="query" type="text"/>
<input id="query-1" class="query" type="text"/>
<input id="query-2" class="query" type="text"/>
