I am trying to get a mapquest call in the description ballon. It will accept everthing except the "Form Action" tag. Here is the code which is the example on the mapquest site. If I take out the "Form action" tag the rest of the values are accepted but when you click the "Get Directions" button it 'of course' does not know were to go. Is there a reason GoMap wont accept the "Form Action" tag?

I have also tried to do the google directions but the A HREF will not take in the descriptions of the bubble. It would be great if I can bring up a location on the map and then have a link included to get directions to that place. Has anyone else tried this?????

Here is the code I am trying.



<A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=905+16th+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20006&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.638819,81.386719&ie=UTF8&z=16&om=1">GET DIRECTIONS</A>

a) You cannot put form tags within the body of a dnn page. This will never work because DNN write these tags for you.
b) I have just tested adding an href tag in to a bubble and I did not have any problems. What are you using to build your query? The text bubble contents is pull from the Description column in the database.

I hope this helps,

Did you include the href that I referenced? We were not able to use any href with an "&" included. We had to write an asp proc to translate for us.

The "&" character must be encoded as & in the description that comes back. Let me know if that works for you.

To clarify, the ampersand should be & a m p ; (without the spaces).
