<div>Hi folks</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a not strictly OL related problem concerning a function call which works in FF, Safari, Opera, etc … but does not work in IE (7 and 8)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me tell you what I try to do.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1st step:</div>
<div>An ajax control fills a selectbox with adresses. The webservice delivers geoJSON btw. The serializing of the JSON-Object (streetlist) and the filling of the selectbox (sbox) looks like this:</div>
<div>--------></div>
<div> streetlist = eval('(' + httpRequest.responseText + ')');</div>
<div> //alert(streetlist);</div>
<div> sbox = document.getElementById('straSel');</div>
<div> sbox.length=streetlist.features.length-1;</div>
<div> if (sbox.length<=0) {sbox.length=1}</div>
<div> for(x=0; x< streetlist.features.length-1; x++){</div>
<div> sbox.options[x].text=streetlist.features[x].properties.Adresse;</div>
<div> }</div>
<div><----------</div>
<div>Everything works out fine. The Ajax works, the Selectbox is filled, all of this works fine in all the browsers.</div>
<div>So now we have a Selectbox, filled with Adresses.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2nd step:</div>
<div>From my selectbox, I select one entry and klick on the "get me there"-button to call a function "goThere" which will find the appropriate X and Y coords from the geoJSON Object and zoom the map to there.</div>
<div>The Selectbox and "get me there" Butto look like this:</div>
<div>----------></div>
<div> <p></div>
<div> <select id="straSel" name="straSel" size="5" ></div>
<div> <option id="straOpt">Click result ...</option></div>
<div> </select></div>
<div> </p></div>
<div> <input type="button" value="get me there" onclick="goThere();" /></div>
<div><----------</div>
<div>The function looks like this:</div>
<div>------------></div>
<div> function goThere() {</div>
<div> // gets XY coordinates for selected entry and zooms there</div>
<div> var adressX;</div>
<div> var adressY;</div>
<div> </div>
<div> var selbox =document.getElementById('straSel');</div>
<div> var selIndx=selbox.selectedIndex;</div>
<div> selectedAdr=selbox.options[selIndx].value;</div>
<div> //alert(selbox.options[selbox.selectedIndex].value);</div>
<div> alert(" At index"+selIndx+" in the box, there is "+selectedAdr);</div>
<div> if (streetlist) {</div>
<div> for(x=0; x< streetlist.features.length-1; x++){</div>
<div> if (streetlist.features[x].properties.Adresse == selectedAdr) {</div>
<div> adressX=streetlist.features[x].geometry.coordinates[0];</div>
<div> adressY=streetlist.features[x].geometry.coordinates[1];</div>
<div> //alert(selectedAdr + '___X=' + adressX + '___Y=' + adressY);</div>
<div> map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(adressX,adressY),allScales[1],false,true);</div>
<div> break;</div>
<div> }</div>
<div> }</div>
<div> }</div>
<div> }</div>
<div><------------</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also tried to deliver the Adress itself in the function call, but this doesn't change anything.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The function works fine in Firefox</div>
<div>It works fine in Safari</div>
<div>It works fine in Opera.</div>
<div>Heck, it even works fine on my Palm Pre Plus…</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just IE (7 and 8) does not do ANYTHING. I found out (using the alert statements) that the value is always empty in IE.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone an idea what's the problem?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>TIA!!</div>
