I'm developing a webpage and I would just like to make something more user friendly. I have a functional Google Maps api v3 and an
address search
bar. Currently, I have to use the mouse to select search to initialize the geocoding function. How can I make the map return a placemark by hitting the enter button on my keyboard? I just want to make it as user-friendly as possible.
Here is the javascript and div, respectively, I created for the
address bar:
var geocoder;
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder ();
function codeAddress () {
var
address = document.getElementById ("
address").value;
geocoder.geocode ( { '
address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results [0].geometry.location);
marker.setPosition(results [0].geometry.location);
map.setZoom(14);
}
else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
<div id="geocoder">
<input id="
address" type="textbox" value="">
<input type="button" value="Search" onclick="codeAddress()">
</div>
Thank you in advance for your help
