Beginner struggling with a simple drop down menu - javascript

Specifically, I'm trying to make a drop down menu filled with links that will direct to the specified locations in google maps when clicked. I managed to get google maps embedded into my page, but for some reason I cannot seem to get the drop down to occur and cannot find the problem in my code. I also am struggling to understand how to actually create the links in the dropdown menu to direct to the selected location on the google map. Any help would be appreciated. The code I have so far...
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementByClassName("dropdown-content");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show')
}
}
}
}
function initMap() {
var Columbia = {
lat: 34.006140,
lng: -81.037532
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: Columbia
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: Columbia,
map: map
});
}
.dropbtn {
background-color: #4caf50;

padding: 16px;

i have added in the comments what should have been done as difference from your code.
You need to know that document.getElementsByClassName returns a HTMLCollection object which only has length as property and 2 methods which are item and namedItem, you can see the docs for HTMLCollection and docs for getElementsByClassName
EDIT: I have also added a section code for handling the map position view when a dropdown item is clicked, note i just added an example for london so you could continue doing the rest for other locations

Google Maps API V3 TrafficLayer Widget

Google Maps Traffic Widget
i want to show the widget from the picture above in my embedded map to show typical traffic. but i can't seem to find any documentation for this. this is my current javascript code
function initMap() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 17,
clickableIcons: false,
center: {lat: 34.04924594193164, lng: -118.24104309082031}
});
var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 34.04924594193164, lng: -118.24104309082031},
map: map,
title: 'myMarker',
draggable: false
});
var trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
trafficLayer.setMap(map);
}
Exactly what you want is not provided in official document.
You can create custom legends base on this tutorial

Custom Google Maps Buttons Position

I would like to modify my google map in the following way:
so I would like to have 2 (or more) couples of buttons (with custom icon) on the bottom left of the map BUT on the top of the standard buttons of google that is streetview and zoom..
Do you think is possible?
So far i was only able to move my custom buttom on the BOTTOM_LEFT, BOTTOM_RIGHT, BOTTOM and so on..
Also as you can see I would like to have a VERTICAL Drawing Manager and not a horizontal one.
This is what I did: example
In particular when I do this
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM].push(customControlDiv);
i would like to add instead some coordinate or pixel positions..
You can't define coordinates or pixel positions, but you may control the position via CSS.
e.g. for controls placed at the BOTTOM use margin-bottom to move them upwards from the position that has been set by the API
function initMap() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 12,
center: {
lat: 0,
lng: 0
},
noClear: true,
disableDefaultUI:true
});
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_BOTTOM].push(document.getElementById('ctrl1'));
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_BOTTOM].push(document.getElementById('ctrl2'));
}
html,
body,
#map {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#ctrls {
display: none;
}
#ctrl1 {
margin: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
background: red;
}
#ctrl1::before {
content: '#ctrl1';
display: block;
}
#ctrl2 {
margin: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background: yellow;
}
#ctrl2::before {
content: '#ctrl2';
display: block;
}
.ctrl {
border: 1px solid #818181;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.ctrl strong{
border: 1px solid #818181;
border-radius: 3px;
background:#fff;
display:block;
}
<div id="map">
<div id="ctrls">
<div id="ctrl1" class="ctrl">
<strong>Button 1-1</strong>
<strong>Button 1-2</strong>
</div>
<div id="ctrl2" class="ctrl">
<strong>Button 2-1</strong>
<strong>Button 2-2</strong>
</div>
</div>

Google map doesn't show right in nav-tab

Google Maps doesn't show in a nav-tab.
It doesn't show the place, but when I click on the map; it's correct in google.
the problem
HTML:
<div class="tab-content">
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" id="locatie"><?php if ($object->hasLocation): ?>
<div>
<h2>Kaart</h2>
<div id="google-map"></div>
<h2>Street View</h2>
<div id="google-streetview"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?></div>
</div>
JS
(function($, exports) {
'use strict';
var GoogleMap = exports.GoogleMap = function(options) {
this.map = null;
this.markers = [];
this.bounds = null;
this.info = null;
this.options = $.extend({
container: '#google-map',
mapContainer: null,
map: {}
}, options || {});
this.$container = null;
};
CSS
.single-post-tst {
.entry-content {
width: 100%;
margin: 2% 0 10%;
display: inline-block;
p {
font-size: 16px;
}
}
.container-content-single {
ul, ol {
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;
}
.nav-tabs {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
li {
margin-bottom: 0;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}
li:last-child {
border-right: none;
}
li a {
border-radius: 0;
line-height: 2em;
margin-right: 0;
}
li a:hover {
background-color: #F29902;
color: #fff;
}
li.active > a {
padding-bottom: 12px;
}
a.nav-link.active {
background-color: #F29902;
color: #fff;
}
}
.nav-tabs>li.active>a, .nav-tabs>li.active>a:focus, .nav-tabs>li.active>a:hover {
border: none;
background-color: #F29902;
color: #fff;
}
}
}
#google-map,
#google-streetview {width:100%; height:500px;}
I think the problem is with this line in JS:
container: '#google-map',
When I put the map out off the tab, it works correct.
But I can't find any solution to show the map correct in the tab.
It shows now but not full width, I add this to CSS:
.tab-content.tab-pane,
.tab-pane {
/* display: none; */
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
.tab-content.active,
.tab-content .tab-pane.active,
.tab-pane.active {
/* display: block; */
visibility: visible;
position: static;
}
It look like this now
When I say width: 100%; it doesn't make full width
If the map is on a secondary tab it wont get the proper sizing, if you can place him on the active tab the problem will be solved.
If you want to maintain the map on an hidden tab, please check how to force the refresh / resize of the map when it becomes visible.
How do I resize a Google Map with JavaScript after it has loaded?
Sample code:
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
EDIT, another option:
You can also set a fixed size for the map, you can check the code sample here ;)
how to deal with google map inside of a hidden div (Updated picture)
I found a solution:
.tab-content > .tab-pane {
display: block;
height:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.tab-content > .active {
display: block;
height:auto;
}

Google Maps + Streetview issue - How to disable Photo Sphere

So on my site I'm using Google Maps + Streetview:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-simple
Also I'm using standard searchbox with autocomplete, the problem is when I enter some locations, there is no streetview, just Photo Sphere image without any controls for moving around like in standard streetview...
I really don't want Photo Sphere, because I want my users to freely move around with street view, and now they sometimes get "trapped" in one Photo Sphere image... Is there a way I can force streetview without Photo Sphere?
I'm not sure how to turn off PhotoSpheres, but I did find a workaround that may be useful to you. I noticed at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#StreetViewSource that when searching for a location, if you set the source to OUTDOOR, then PhotoSpheres are not returned.
Therefore, if you add listeners for location changes, and then search for the location without PhotoSpheres, I think you should be able to prevent them from showing up.
Here is a modified google maps example to illustrate:
<!DOCTYPE html>

CartoDB: Buttons switching between layers

sorry, I am very new to this. I want something similar to this here CartoDB multiple layer toggle,
only that I am not adding a SQL queried layer, but one from an URL. Each button should make one layer active, one layer at a time and always only one layer visible.
Thanks for any hint!
Best, Wolfram

I'm not sure that you can do this (but I'm not certain) - however, I looked at the json files that you are linking to, and I see that the data is from Open Street Map. Have you tried looking at this tutorial?
http://docs.cartodb.com/tutorials/osm.html
Maybe that will help?
