Question

I would like to explain my situation.

I am writing a website and one of the webpage is using the google map.

The web site is a cms website and it is using ektron

So, I have to use ektron google map coz it provides some features that the customers want.

Ektron is simply using google map and use ajax to combine with its own logic.

I dun know the details but whenever I tried to change the properties of that ektron map, I need to click search or zoom in or zoom out or move the map.

Only after I do that, the properties changed are effected. If not, they don’t.

So, I think of the shortcut and programatically cick the search button of ektron map.

Then again, I am adding the control programatically to a panel.

I can’t write document.ready coz I found out that works before the map is loaded.

So, I wrote this code to make the map works.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).load(function () {
        $("#__GetAddr").click();
    });
</script>

It works. __GetAddr is the search button ID and I click it after everything loads.

But the problem started when I use it with chrome.

I found out that $(window).load() is not working in chrome, safari and opera.

I googled it for a while but can’t find any solid answer.

Is there any clear alternative way for that to work in those 3 browsers while it still works for IE7,8,9 and Firefox.

Thanks a lot.

Hi all, I have a solution.

I dun think it’s the best solution. but it works.

<script type="text/javascript">
    if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
        $(window).load(function () { $("#__GetAddr").click(); });
    }
    else {
        window.addEventListener('load', function () { $("#__GetAddr").click();                  }, false);
    }
</script>

I would appreciate to have a better one. 😛
