    <p>I use an MVC template to allow the user to add multiple addresses. They click a button and this calls my template using jquery and the form is genereated. If they want to add another location they click the button again and another form is setup and so on. This template works fine but I am having some trouble using Google Maps within these templates.</p> <p>The reason for using Google Maps in this scenario is to provide a nice interface for adding a longitude and latitude for the location you are adding. I'm using class here instead of id's as there could be any number of address areas on the screen.</p> <p>In my mvc template I have the following markup:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="body"&gt; &lt;div class="st-form-line"&gt; &lt;span class="st-labeltext"&gt;Location&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="#" class="GetPosition"&gt;Get Latitude &amp;amp; Longitude positions based on above address details.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="mapContainer" style="display:none;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the map position is incorrect simply drag the pointer to the correct location.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="map" style="width: 450px; height: 350px;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="st-form-line"&gt; &lt;span class="st-labeltext"&gt;@Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Longitude)&lt;/span&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Longitude) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Longitude) &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="st-form-line"&gt; &lt;span class="st-labeltext"&gt;@Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Latitude)&lt;/span&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Latitude) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.Address.Latitude) &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have the following jquery (this is the bit that's giving me an issue):</p> <pre><code>$('a.GetPosition').live("click", function (evt) { evt.preventDefault(); $(this).next().show(); var mapElement = $(this).closest('.body').find('.map'); var latElement = $(this).closest('.body').find('[id$=__Address_Latitude]'); var longElement = $(this).closest('.body').find('[id$=__Address_Longitude]'); showAddress(mapElement, latElement, longElement); }); // Google Map var map; function showAddress(mapElement, latElement, longElement) { var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(40.713956, -74.006653); var myOptions = { zoom: 8, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP } map = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, myOptions); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ draggable: true, position: myLatlng, map: map, title: "choose location" }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function (event) { latElement.val(event.latLng.lat().toFixed(5)); longElement.val(event.latLng.lng().toFixed(5)); }); } </code></pre> <p>For now I am just hard coding in the default map position of '40.713956, -74.006653' but I will change this to use a real world address once I can get the map to show correctly.</p> <p>I know the issue is down to the 'mapElement' but I'm not sure what is wrong. If I comment our the showAddress function call and output some text into mapElement I can see the text so it does appear to have found the right dom loction. </p> <p>Any ideas I could try here? Thanks for your help.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Rich</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
