  1. POAppeal for SIMPLE examples for fusion tables users eg. mouseover rollover
    text
    copied!<p>On behalf of all the fusion tables keeners who love mapping, can adapt a good script, but are NOT PROGRAMMERS -- journalists and historians and all the rest of the users who are like me...</p> <p>Just got a group message from Rebecca (GOOGLE rep for FUSION TABLES) announcing it is now possible to "Enable mouseover event on Fusion Table map layer". </p> <p>She gave this link as a demo: <a href="http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fusiontables/mouseover-jsonp.html" rel="nofollow">http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fusiontables/mouseover-jsonp.html</a></p> <p>My question: why do these examples have to be so convoluted? This particular table has everything in it but the kitchen sink -- over three dozen columns in the table, with 177 entries -- and the script includes a piece to exclude Antarctica from the rollover effect. (Is that an inside joke?)</p> <p>Why not work with a simple fusion table with the minimum number of columns, using the simplest, cleanest version of the script to make the effect work? Or 2-3 versions of the example featuring different approaches?</p> <p>I come to Stackoverflow because this is where Google refers us for support. If I'm wrong and it's not an inclusive forum, not a place for people with less than professional levels of programming skill, just say so.</p> <p>Me, I have a map with polygons. I'd like to include the mouseover effect that changes the look of the polygon and border when rolled over. Simple. Forget Antarctica.</p> <p>If that requres special columns in the fusion table, that should be mentioned somewhere.</p> <p>Apologies for the rant. I've spent many hours trying to untangle examples and plug in my own table. It shouldn't be this hard.</p>
