[OpenLayers-Users] How to create a map on the fly, by clicking a button

Tue Jan 26 12:00:59 EST 2010

Hi,

Your parameter is a string and not an object

var visor = new MyViewer('map'); 

Perhaps this will work:

	function MyViewer(div){
		this.container = document.getElementById(div);

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] How to create a map on the fly,by clicking a
button

Hello list, 

I'm trying to make a Gis Web Viewer and I need to generate a Map, after
clicking a link/button from one div, into another div. I've created an
Object class like this

function MyViewer(){

	var map;
	var container;

	this.MyViewer= MyViewer;

	function MyViewer(div){
		this.container = div;
		this.map = new OpenLayers.Map( div, {projection: new
OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:23030"), units: 'm', maxExtent: new
OpenLayers.Bounds(460000, 4710000, 610000, 4820000), maxResolution:
292.96875});

		...layer definition...

		map.zoomToMaxExtent();

		document.getElementById(this.container).style.visibility =
"visible";
	}
}

And my html looks like this:

#map { border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 650px;
height: 450px;
position: relative;
float: right;
overflow: auto;
visibility: hidden;
}

....

<body>
<div id="cabecera">
<h2>header</h2>
</div>
<div id="body">
<script type="text/javascript">

	function init(){
		var visor = new MyViewer('map');
	}

</script>	
<a href="#" onclick="init();">ShowMap</a><br>

</div>
<div id="map">map...
</div>
</body>

...

But I get an error on line

document.getElementById(this.container).style.visibility = "visible";

Saying:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null

Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do ??

Thanks.

Un saludo,
