google maps

[jack]

What is the best way to load a google map into a lift page?

[Peter Robinett]

Can you give us more information, Jack? That's a VERY broad question
and thus hard to answer. You could do several different ways, from
HTML to Javascript to either of those generated by Scala code.

I agree that it's pretty broad, but a few things to note in general about Google (and a lot of other) JavaScript APIs:

1. Lift defaults to XHTML, which Google Maps won't work with. Override this via LiftRules.determineContentType (can specify HTML for a specific request path) or LiftRules.useXhtmlMimeType (global override)
2. If you're going to insert API urls, etc into templates from your Scala code, remember that you need to wrap them in scala.xml.Unparsed if they contain things like ampersands (&). Otherwise, Scala's XML lib will escape everything and you'll end up with URLs like "http://foo.com?test=1&bar=2" instead of "http://foo.com?test=1&bar=2"

I have implemented part 1 and the google maps is working great.
However, when I include my maps api key
e.g. <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?
file=api&v=2&key=mykey&sensor=false" type="text/javascript" />
in one of the .html files, it causes liftweb to break with the
following output:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Expected
';'scala.xml.parsing.MarkupParserCommon
$class.takeUntilChar(MarkupParserCommon.scala:88)
scala.xml.parsing.MarkupParserCommon
$class.normalizeAttributeValue(MarkupParserCommon.scala:148) ...

I think that this is somehow related to point 2 from the previous
post. What do you think?

Attributes must be properly XML encoded:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=mykey&amp;sensor=false" type="text/javascript" />
