Google Javascript issues in Explorer 8 and Firefox
Posted on 2011-09-09
The code below no longer works in Explorer 8 or Firefox. When I set compatibility mode it works.
Trying to add a point to a Google map and change the cursor to a "crosshair" to do so.

function Add_Point_Enable()
{
//Allows user to add a new point to the map by clicking on the map
alert('Move the cursor to the desired location');
document.getElementById("datatable").style.display = "";
document.getElementById("Cancel").disabled=false;
map.getDragObject().setDraggableCursor("crosshair");
GEvent.addListener(map, "click", function(marker, point)
{
document.getElementById('currentid').value = "";
ChangeButtons();
if (marker)

}
else
{
var confirmpoint = confirm("Do you want to add a signal to this location?");
if (confirmpoint)
{
map.clearOverlays();
GetData();
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point));
ClearData();
document.mapform.newlat.value = point.y;

Please elaborate on "no longer works." Are you getting an error? Are you getting unexpected results?
Can you post a link to a page where this code is being used?

The code is on a password protected page. This code is supposed to trigger a change in the cursor from the hand to a crosshair and allow the adding of points to a Google map.
when I say "no longer works", when i click the button that is supposed to trigger this even, nothing happens.
Right now I can post a link because the code is on a protected web site.

Are you certain that no error is being generated? In IE, you would see a message in the status bar at the bottom if you have the status bar turned on. In Firefox you can view the error console under the Tools menu.
Are you getting the alert to move the cursor to the desired location?

Is line 254 one of the line is the above code? Check your spelling in the the getElementById arguments. IDs are case-sensitive.
The spelling is correct but it points to an element ID assigned to a <TD> I tried moving the ID to a <div> and that didn't seem to solve the problem.
No. That can't be it; you wouldn't get the error "is null or not an object" if that was the case. Have you used a reserved word as an ID? What is the ID of the element line 254 is trying to get?
This is perplexing. It would be easier if I could see the page. I'm sure you've checked your HTML and confirmed there is an element with the exact ID "AddButtons." Is it possible that element is inside the div that is consumed by the google map?
I actually just found the problem and you set me on the right path by having me double check my element IDs.
It turns out I didn't have one mispelled, but I did have one that wasn't declared. It was an input type that had its name set but not the ID

As I mentioned in my last comment, this wan't the actual solution, but it made me re-examine my form elements and find the one with the name declared but not the id.
