<div> of images, retrieved by getJSON, disappear after append()
- by Midiane
Hi all
I'm working on a GMaps application to retrieve images, via getJSON(), and to populate a popup marker.
The following is the markup which I add to the marker dynamically:
<div id="images"></div>
<div id="CampWindow" style="display:none;width:550px;height:500px;">
<h4 id="camp-title"></h4>
<p>View... (all links open in new windows)</p>
<ul>
<li><a id="camp-hp-link" target="_blank" href="">camp home page</a></li>
<li>information: <a id="camp-av-link" target="_blank" href="">availability</a> | <a id="camp-vi-link" target="_blank" href="">vital information</li>
</ul>
<p id="message"></p>
I've been clawing out my eyes and woohoo for the past couple of days, trying to get the images to show inside the CampWindow . Then, I decided to think laterally and to see if the images were being retrieved at all. I then moved the images outside and sure as Bob (Hope), the images were being retrieved and refreshed with every click.
So, I decided to the keep the images outside and then once loaded, append it to the CampWindow . It's not working still; when I append the div to the main CampWindow div, the images won't show. I check in Firebug with the pointer thingy and it shows me the images as empty. I try it again with the images outside and it shows the images. I've tried before append and appendTo with no success. Am I missing something here?
I have no more woohoo to claw out. Please, please help.
marker.clicked = function(marker){
$("#images").html('');
$('#camp-title').text(this.name);
$('#camp-hp-link').attr('href', this.url);
$('#camp-av-link').attr('href', this.url + '/tourism/availability.php');
$('#camp-vi-link').attr('href', this.url + '/tourism/general.php');
// get resort images via jQuery AJAX call - includes/GetResortImages.inc.php
$.getJSON('./includes/GetResortImages.inc.php', { park: this.park_name, camp: this.camp_name }, RetrieveImages);
function RetrieveImages (data)
{
if ('failed' == data.status)
{
$('#messages').append("<em>We don't have any images for this rest camp right now!</em>");
}
else
{
if ('' != data.camp)
{
$.each(data, function(key,value){
$("<img/>").attr("src", value).appendTo('#images');
});
}
}
}
//.append($("#images"));
$("#CampWindow").show();
var windowContent = $("<html />");
$("#CampWindow").appendTo(windowContent);
var infoWindowAnchor = marker.getIcon().infoWindowAnchor;
var iconAnchor = marker.getIcon().iconAnchor;
var offset = new google.maps.Size(infoWindowAnchor.x-iconAnchor.x,infoWindowAnchor.y-iconAnchor.y);
map.openInfoWindowHtml(marker.getLatLng(), windowContent.html(), {pixelOffset:offset});
}
markers.push(marker);
});
