For several hours I tried to get the Google Map GeoCoding Script of
Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team working with jQuery but I
failed. Loading the script from an external file is no problem. But I
can´t get the function showAddress() starting when the page is
loaded. I tried $(window).load(function(showAddress), $
(document).ready(function() - no one worked. The address is stored in
a paragraph with the id "address" which one I can manipulate. When I
put the JavaScript-Code inside the XHTML-Code an call showAdress with
<body onload="showAddress()"> everthing is working fine. But really -
I don't like JavaScript and XHTML mixed up.
So anyone has an advice for me?
Thank you
