Say Your Name With Knockout.js

Here Am Going To Use A New JavaScript Frame Work Called Knockout.js

In this example, the two text boxes are bound to observable variables on a data model.
The “full name” display is bound to a computed observable, whose value is calculated in terms of the observables.

Edit either text box to see the “full name” display update. See the HTML source code and notice there’s no need to catch “onchange” events. Knockout knows when to update the UI.

Source code: View

<p>First name: <input data-bind="value: firstName" /></p>

<p>Last name: <input data-bind="value: lastName" /></p>

<h2>Hello, <span data-bind="text: fullName"> </span>!</h2>

Source code: View model

// Here's my data model

var ViewModel = function(first, last) {

    this.firstName = ko.observable(first);

    this.lastName = ko.observable(last);

    this.fullName = ko.pureComputed(function() {

// Knockout tracks dependencies automatically. It knows that fullName depends on firstName and lastName, because these get called when evaluating fullName.

        return this.firstName() + " " + this.lastName();

    }, this);

};

ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel("Hudhaifa", "Yoosuf"));

 // This makes Knockout get to work

var map;

var lat = 6.929537;//Your Location Latitude

var lon = 79.866271;//Your Location Longitude

var str = '[{ "lat" :"' + lat + '","lng" :"' + lon + '"}]';

str = JSON.parse(str);

jQuery('#map-canvas').gmap3({

marker: {

values: str,

options: {

icon:'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/red-dot.png',

//icon:new google.maps.MarkerImage("marker.png"),

}

map: {

options: {

zoom: 14,

scrollwheel: true,//Make It false To Stop Map Zooming By Scroll

streetViewControl: true

});

</script>

</body>

</html>

Below Code Also Can Use Create The Map Using Given Latitude & Longitude.

<html>
<head>
<title>Google Map v3</title>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&libraries=places"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var lat = 6.929537;//Your Location Latitude
var lon = 79.866271;//Your Location Longitude

jQuery('#map-canvas').gmap3({
marker:{
latLng: [lat, lon]
},
map:{
options:{
zoom: 14
}
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

This Is Simple Example That Shows The Location Using A Marker.If You Want You Can Add Events For The Marker & Shows A Info Window.

Google Map With Multiple Markers & Info Windows Using Google Map API v3

Following Sample Html Code Will Help You To Create Your Own Google Map With Multiple Markers & Multiple Info Windows. In This Example I Have Used An Array Which Consist Of Three Locations.You Can Use Your Own Object Here.But Make Sure You Have Specified Correct Data Value.Specially Latitude and Longitude.

In The Example I Have Linked The JQuery.But You Need To Download The "jquery.gmap3.min.js" File.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Map v3 With Multiple Markers & Info Windows</title>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false& libraries=places"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.gmap3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas" style="width:100%;height:500px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var locations = [
[1, 6.929537, 79.866271,'Maradana Railway'],
[2, 6.933456, 79.850435,'Fort Railway'],
[3, 6.931965, 79.846058,'Secretariat Railway']
];

var map;
var str = '[';
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
str += '{ "lat" :"' + locations[i][1] + '","lng" :"' + locations[i][2] + '","data" :"<div class=Your_Class><h4><a href=Your_Link_To_Marker>' + locations[i][3] + '</a></h4></div>"},';
}
str = str.substring(0, str.length - 1);
str += ']';
str = JSON.parse(str);

jQuery('#map-canvas').gmap3({
marker: {
values: str,
options: {
icon: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/red-dot.png',
//icon: new google.maps.MarkerImage("marker.png"),
},
events: {
click: function (marker, event, context) {
map = $(this).gmap3("get"),
infowindow = $(this).gmap3({ get: { name: "infowindow" } });
if (infowindow) {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
infowindow.setContent(context.data);
} else {
$(this).gmap3({
infowindow: {
anchor: marker,
options: { content: context.data }
}
});
}
},
}
},
map: {
options: {
zoom: 14,
scrollwheel: true,//Make It false To Stop Map Zooming By Scroll
streetViewControl: true
},
},
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Above Example I Have Used The Marker Click Function.If You Want You Can Use The mousehover function too.If You Want To Change The Marker Color Or Style You Can Change The Link.Even If You Want To Use Your Own Image You Can SImply Give The Link( "new google.maps.MarkerImage("marker.png")" ) As Shown In The Comment.
