Can I add html form directly over the div that displays Google maps ?
Yes, & Scott is right, you are better off being more specific - just a map and a html form (or any other kind of html element for that matter)? Then of course yes. Just some basic CSS will sort you out.
Even better would be to show us your code and someone will point out where it is going wrong if you're having trouble. Try this search if you need to begin somewhere. Or even better your question is likely already answered here -> Google Maps v2 div inside or over map.
One (slightly advanced) note though - it has been known to go funky when using FF2, but any other browser seems to have no problems. References: Infamous Firefox cursor bug & Bug 167801

i want to add "google search" and "bit.ly" url minimizer input (i guess i am talking about API?), to my website. how should i approach it, what i must do, to get those inputs working as well?
i must say that my developing knowledge is limited to html/css and some understanding (with google help) in javascript.
i tried to search on this topic, but did not find anything to go on with. so sorry, if this is someway already covered in some previous q/a post.
thank you for all the help!
Well, I'm not sure how to put the bit.ly minimizer input field, but the google search is fairly simple.
Click here and create a new google custom search engine. When it asks for sites to search, put in https://www.google.co.uk/
Then, do what it says. Customise it if you want.
I think that is what you wanted. It is a google API. Hope it helps.
I have a quick question which would really help me out, i'm sure it must be simple -- if its possible.
I am developing a wordpress website and using Chrome Inspects to edit the CSS, which i'm fine with. However, when I want edit the html code, I cant find the name of file i am editing on elements. Is there a way to find out the file name?
Hope that makes sense,
All the best,
Joe
Yes, it is on the top right corner of each css property.
I'd love to be able to collapse and expand sections in my Google Docs document, making large documents easier to navigate. I was wondering if this is possible with Google Apps Script, or if I'd be wasting my time trying to find a way.
You cannot do anything special in Apps Script, just automate stuff that you can do manually.
So, there's no way to do real collapsing, since there's no such feature in Google Docs. But you can use available functionality in unorthodox ways and make it work for you. For example, you could save the content somewhere else (maybe another document), so you can remove and add "sections" making it look like collapsing. This would have the downside of polluting the document revision history a lot, since every collapse event will be treated as changes to the document. Or you could export the document as HTML, maybe host it on Drive itself and implement the collapsing there, using javascript, then just serve the link to the user.
Anyway, this is just a couple of ideas that recklessly throwing here, which may or may not work for you. But none of will ever be real collapsing on a Google Doc.
As an alternative, we used the outline feature, so we can jump up and down a document quickly:
First open the Outline tool from the menu: View -> Show document outline
If you want to reach a part of your document easily, select some text at that point and give it a heading: Hit the part of the toolbar that says "Normal Text" and change it to "Heading 5".
Remove any headings that you don't want from the Outline by hitting the X next to them.
Another "clue" that might be useable would be to actually "hide" or more precisely make almost invisible some parts of your document using something like the trick described in this other post.
The difficult thing will be to find the limits of the parts you would want to hide.... but it's worth giving it a try ;)
How could I embed a Google Maps API Javascrip on my Flex Application?
I found some examples, but none of them worked for me.
http://javey.net/bike/map/player5/map.html?gpx=http://javey.net/bike/gpx/24-nov-2007.gpx&title=Sheldon.Road.Trail
Can anyone help me with that question? I would really appreciate it.
What have you tried so far? Do you have any code to show us?
Your second link explains using an HTML wrapper in Flex, which seems like a straightforward solution to me. You can make sure the HTML portion is working by opening it in a browser to make sure it shows up and displays properly (often this is the real problem).
The poster of the links you gave also linked to the source code in the comments: Flex + Google Maps. Try modifying a copy of their code to do what you want it to. Or cut out as much of their code as you can while preserving the functionality you want to see how they do it, and go from there.
I wonder if StageWebView is what you're after?

I am integrating Google Maps with jQuery Mobile and .NET. I am following the Google Code (example 4) documentation here: http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-mobile-example.html#jquery-mobile-example-4.html
I've been careful in transferring the code, but I keep receiving a blank frame. The map doesn't show up in the frame.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any recommendations on additional documentation, tutorials, videos, and reading?
I greatly appreciate anyone's time and help, thank you.
I think your problem is outlined here : http://www.smashinglabs.pl/gmap/examples
If, for any reason, any dimension of div will be equal 0 during
loading process, maps will stop working correctly. It is quite common
issue while loading tabs, accordions, etc.
He goes on to outline specific problem resolutions. Some of them:
Try calling the 'refresh' function manually google.maps.event.trigger($('#map').data('gmap').gmap, 'resize');
If your #map container doesn't have a set size, it will default to 0x0 by normal HTML/CSS standards. Try setting a size manually, say 300x300
etc...
It might be the google loader api key? (If you copy paste). Get any JS errors?
As Phill said, post some code and we'll be able to help you better.
If you are using jquery.ui.maps thats the wrong syntax. From what i can tell you are using another plugin.
Thank you for your time and help. After more research and additional help from others, I was able to find a Google Maps solution to get me moving more quickly. A great conversation that outlines resources I studied, used, and highlighted can be found in this google groups discussion.
