Drag and Drop via Hotlinked Javascript Global Variable Tutorial

Drag and Drop via Hotlinked Javascript Global Variable Tutorial

Drag and Drop via Hotlinked Javascript Global Variable Tutorial

The recent Drag and Drop via Hotlinked External Javascript Tutorial had an annoyance, whereby, regarding its modus operandi of …

  • write their own HTML (and derived Javascript) via a textarea element with initial template HTML code
  • construct a personalized HTML webpage after the light green submit button press … so that …
  • downloading the HTML is possible via “View Page Source” (context option) and Copy/Paste into a text editor (and then, perhaps, onto local system web server environment development via an Apache/PHP/MySql local web server product such as MAMP)

… in its middle phase that if you …

  • clicked into that middle phase‘s HTML textarea element … the logic was the same as the …
  • external Javascript’s …


    parent.document.getElementById('textareaaction').click();


    function doit(what) {
    if (viaej) { eval(what); }
    }

… but we really only want that HTML textarea element (id=’textareaaction’) onclick logic


<textarea style=background-color:silver; ontouchdown='viaej=false; event.stopPropagation();' onmousedown='viaej=false; event.stopPropagation();' onclick=doit(this.value); data-onblur=doit(this.value); rows=5 cols=80 placeholder='Please place your drop action to do Javascript here below ...' id=textareaaction>
alert('You just dropped off');
</textarea>

… to happen in the second scenario, but not the first (which is really just a mechanism to give the textarea element the webpage focus). How can we differentiate? Well, there are probably a lot of ways, but our preferred way is to involve a new global variable


var viaej=false;

… which our external Javascript can reference, usefully, via code like




function dolaterwo() {
window.opener.viaej=false;
}

function dolaternonwo() {
parent.viaej=false;
}


if (typeof(parent.viaej) !== 'undefined') {
parent.viaej=true;
}

parent.document.getElementById('textareaaction').click();
if (typeof(parent.viaej) !== 'undefined') {
setTimeout(dolaternonwo, 3000); //parent.viaej=false;
}

… so that an onclick event’s click or touch into the textarea element equates to global variable viaej having value false (because onmousedown or ontouchdown (yayyyy!!!) events precede onclick event) and for the external Javascript parent.document.getElementById(‘textareaaction’).click() call equates to a timing where global variable viaej having value true (and the function doit’s eval logic is executed).

In order to fix this issue we made changes to our external Javascript countries.js “Drag and Drop specialist” use by our changed “second draft proof of concept” PHP draganddrop_hotwiring.php web application you can try below.

Drag and Drop Three Dimensional Look Tutorial

Drag and Drop Three Dimensional Look Tutorial

Drag and Drop Three Dimensional Look Tutorial

So far with our latest Drag and Drop work, further to that of Drag and Drop via Hotlinked External Javascript Tutorial below, we’ve concentrated on Javascript. So, you’d think it would be CSS’s time for attention?! Well, sort of. We like to do a lot of CSS styling via Javascript DOM like (today’s simple intervention to add a Three Dimensional look to our drag via CSS property text-shadow) …


window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
gelo=wod('body');
const source = document.querySelector("#mg");
if (source.title.indexOf('ong drag') == -1 && !classo) {
source.title+=' ... long drag (eg. more than 10 seconds) also opens a Google Maps webpage ... very long drag (eg. more than 20 seconds) also opens a Google Earth webpage';
}

if (source) {
if (source.outerHTML.indexOf('text-shadow:') == -1) {
source.style.textShadow='-1px 1px 3px #952dff';
}
}

if (noyes == noyes.toUpperCase()) {
source.style.border='1px dashed pink';
}
console.log('source.id=' + source.id);
source.addEventListener("dragstart", (ev) => {
var elo=null;
dragdt=(new Date());
// more code follows
});
source.addEventListener("dragend", (ev) =>
ev.target.classList.remove("dragging")
);

That’s it! Guess this is the joy of involving genericized external Javascript, because this simple change to our external Javascript countries.js “Drag and Drop specialist” has affected (the look of) about five web applications, so far, calling it … one per codeline!

Tic Tac Toe Game Timing Tutorial

Tic Tac Toe Game Timing Tutorial

Tic Tac Toe Game Timing Tutorial

Yesterday’s Tic Tac Toe Game Drag and Drop Tutorial‘s Tic Tac Toe game had an annoyance. You, as the interactive player, playing the Computer, had to imagine how the Computer won, should it do so. How come? Well, when writing …

  • Javascript … especially …
  • DOM style … you need to look out for the combination of …
    1. Javascript DOM that crucially affects the look of the visible webpage … followed by …
    2. a modal popup window such as alert or confirm or prompt … followed by a …
    3. webpage reload

    … because …

  • if step 2 above immediately follows step 1 it can be that the user never sees that Javascript DOM code’s visible webpage effects … we believe, because, Javascript DOM (maybe sometimes) needs some “flush” (no … not … to da loo) time before any modal Javascript windows appear, demanding attention.

We have almost answered our own question about how to resolve this issue where we say above “if step 2 above immediately follows step 1”. Can you think how? Anyone, anyone?! Yes, Brendan, we can embed a static Javascript snippet of code ( eg. alert(‘Some blurb’); ) into a …


setTimeout(function(){
alert('Some blurb');
newgame();
}, 3000);

… delayed ( eg. by 3 seconds ) setTimeout timed function type of scenario, as above. In that 3 seconds, Javascript DOM’s work can have time to complete.

And regarding how our step 3 is described by webpage reload above, that equates to newgame(); in our Tic Tac Toe game code, it needs to be in the delayed sequence of events ( the purple snippets representing the basis for a 2 second delay solution to this timing issue ) …


if (oemail.indexOf(',') != -1) {
if ((oemail.split(',')[0] + oemail.split(',')[1]).indexOf('Computer') != -1) { emojithem('Computer'); }
setTimeout(function(){
alert(emojithem(oemail.split(',')[1]) + " wins! Bad luck, " + emojithem(oemail.split(',')[0]));
newgame();
}, 2000);
} else {
emojithem('Computer');
setTimeout(function(){
alert(emojithem("Computer") + " wins! Bad luck. Scores: " + emojithem("Computer") + " " + cscore + " vs " + emojithem("You") + " " + yscore + " (" + dscore + " draws)");
newgame();
}, 2000);
}
//newgame();

Tic Tac Toe Game Drag and Drop Tutorial

The Tic Tac Toe game talked about in Apache PHP Code Control Tutorial already has a variety of inputs such as mouse and touch and email and SMS possibilities, and so to also allow drag and drop as an alternative does not sound like too much of a stretch for our extremely able and perspicacious audience!

Again, “click” or “touch” reigns supreme here, but because the user is being asked to fill a (3×3 grid) square with their (usually “X”) answer of “X” or “O” a drag and drop paradigm can well suit the player’s thinking.

Yesterday’s Australian Indigenous Language Drag and Drop Tutorial‘s logic panned out to be a great help with fleshing out what was required, but again, there were nuances

Australian Indigenous Language Drag and Drop Tutorial

Australian Indigenous Language Drag and Drop Tutorial

Australian Indigenous Language Drag and Drop Tutorial

Further to Australian Indigenous Language HTML Map Trove Tutorial, today, we wanted to see whether the Indigenous Language webpage could be improved by the application of drag and drop functionality. The thing is, “drag and drop” can supplement good “click” logic in this web application, rather than any thoughts regarding replacing it. In that sense we were on the lookout for a new resource regarding Indigenous Languages here in Australia, and found Aboriginal Languages of Australia had interesting audio links that we’ve long been interested in finding, thanks.

Nonetheless, we are not yet at a stage where we’ve seen every “parent” type caller of our still needing to be changed external Javascript countries.js “Drag and Drop specialist” called by the changed external Javascript aboriginal_language_regions.js further called by the changed HTML/Javascript parent called aboriginal_language_regions.html‘s live run link.

In these scenarios where a “child” external Javascript serves a wide range of “parent” needs, you can use global Javascript variables


var amdragging=false, havedropped=false, dropthing='';

… in the “parent” HTML webpage, and the “child” external Javascript typeof methodologies can be used for code like …


console.log("dragStart");
if (typeof(parent.amdragging) !== 'undefined') { parent.amdragging=true; }
if (typeof(parent.havedropped) !== 'undefined') { parent.havedropped=false; }
// ...
console.log("Drop ... " + ev.target.id + ' --- ' + ev.target.outerHTML);
dropdt=(new Date());
if (('' + ev.target.id) != '') {
if (typeof(parent.amdragging) !== 'undefined') { parent.amdragging=false; }
if (typeof(parent.havedropped) !== 'undefined') { parent.havedropped=true; }
} else if (('' + ev.target.outerHTML).indexOf(' alt="') != -1 && typeof(parent.amdragging) !== 'undefined' && typeof(parent.havedropped) !== 'undefined' && typeof(parent.dropthing) !== 'undefined') {
parent.dropthing=('' + ev.target.outerHTML).split(' alt="')[1].split('"')[0];
parent.langwo();
}

… in the country.js external Javascript “Drag and Drop specialist”, helping us associate “drop” logic with an HTML image map‘s area subelement of relevance, and then onto a window.open …


function langwo() {
if (typeof(amdragging) !== 'undefined' && typeof(havedropped) !== 'undefined' && typeof(dropthing) !== 'undefined') {
if (amdragging && !havedropped) { if (dropthing != '') { window.open('//www.dnathan.com/VL/index.php?searchstring=' + encodeURIComponent(dropthing) + '&searchtype=all', '_blank','top=10,left=10,height=' + eval(screen.height / 1.5) + ',width=' + eval(screen.width / 1.4)); } amdragging=false; havedropped=false; dropthing=''; }
}
}

  • take a step back, dismantling, at least as far as the user experience goes, the YQL functionality (it being a no-go these days … boo hoo) … and …
  • take a step forward augmenting Google Search links with incredible research content from the wonderful Trove

    Trove is a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of Partner organisations around Australia.

… a feature we wish we’d got together earlier on, even back to the time of Australian Historical Research Primer Tutorial back in a 2014 look at Trove. Since then it’s had a great and useful makeover!

The changed external Javascript called aboriginal_language_regions.js is called by the changed HTML/Javascript parent called aboriginal_language_regions.html‘s live run link is a place for you to research “the oldest surviving culture in the world”.

Australian Indigenous Language HTML Map jQuery YQL Tutorial

Our image map web application exploring Indigenous Australian Language, History and Culture quest continues, this time adding some jQuery and YQL and Ajax functionality best suited to non-mobile platform usage, but still appearing in the mobile “world” during a touch operation, as distinct from the “onhover” event scenario for non-mobile platforms.

Ajax is, for non-mobile platforms, a way to add functionality without moving off the webpage you are on, by gleaning information from other sources of data such as …

  • local HTML (or PHP) webpages
  • local data files
  • local database information
  • same domain HTML (or PHP) webpages
  • same domain data files

… but if you involve jQuery (Javascript library) as well (and we still hold off involving any server-side PHP, you’ll notice, and thanks here go to this very useful link) you can add …

… and so we do this today by adding the functionality to optionally find books of specific interest to your subject of interest as you roam (or “hover”) across the image map.

We facilitate this functionality for the user, again, via the use of a checkbox.

The changes to Javascript code as per aboriginal_language_regions.js are reflected by this link from yesterday.

The supervising HTML code as per aboriginal_language_regions.html needed to change to load the jQuery as reflected by this link from yesterday.

The minor changes to CSS as per aboriginal_language_regions.css are reflected by this link from yesterday.

To see this in action take a look at today’s live run.

Today, again, we mix geography and history in an image map web application exploring Indigenous Australian Language, History and Culture, this time adding some Ajax functionality best suited to non-mobile platform usage.

Ajax is, for non-mobile platforms, a way to add functionality without moving off the webpage you are on, by gleaning information from other sources of data such as …

  • local HTML (or PHP) webpages
  • local data files
  • local database information
  • same domain HTML (or PHP) webpages
  • same domain data files

Again, here, we are talking about Javascript functionality, still not having to resort to any server-side language such as PHP, and though you can use jQuery calls to do this also, we do not call on any of this, as we just use Javascript code.

And the background context to all this … we established a “MobileFish” inspired HTML map element scenario with the following components …

  • a brilliant piece of research from the University of Western Sydney and ending up on the TreatyRepublic.net website as a map image … thanks
  • using the wonderful MobileFish image map (HTML element) creator helper … thanks

Today sees the introduction of an external CSS file, for styling, for the first time. This introduction of CSS causes the only change to our parent HTML code aboriginal_language_regions.html changed as per this link from yesterday.

The changes to Javascript code as per aboriginal_language_regions.js are reflected by this link from yesterday.

The fairly simple external CSS code file could be called aboriginal_language_regions.css

Yesterday we presented Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Checkbox Tutorial as shown below. The checkboxes are added to become …

  1. Images (will result in Google Image Search)
  2. Videos (will result in Google Video Search (if no Image Searching is happening))
  3. Map (onclick) (will additionally result in popup window of Google Map Chart (see also PHP/Javascript/HTML Google Chart Map Tutorial) of the tribal area)
  4. Map (onhover) (will additionally, via Ajax functionality, result in popup window of Google Map Chart (see also PHP/Javascript/HTML Google Chart Map Tutorial) of the tribal area)

It is this last functionality that will not work on mobile platforms, most likely, because the onmouseover event they use doesn’t happen with touch platforms.

You can try the web application as it stands now with our line run link.

Like yesterday, today we mix geography and history in an image map web application exploring Indigenous Australian Language, History and Culture, “the oldest surviving culture in the world”. Today’s tutorial, extending on yesterday’s Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Dropdown Tutorial continues the Javascript DOM methodology, and shows the use of checkboxes.

The HTML input tag’s checkbox type is a “binary” decision maker, boiling down to a yes/no (or true/false) decision on something. A related HTML input tag type is called the radio button, which allows two or more choices, only one of which can be yes (or true). Checkboxes are more independent than radio buttons, and perhaps more generically useful in that respect. However, if stringency and transparency of purpose is what you are after, a radio button leaves no doubt as to interpretation for the user, usually, because the element can only highlight at most one option.

Our checkboxes today are for …

  1. Images (will result in Google Image Search)
  2. Videos (will result in Google Video Search (if no Image Searching is happening))
  3. Map (will additionally result in popup window of Google Map Chart (see also PHP/Javascript/HTML Google Chart Map Tutorial) of the tribal area)

As you can see, there is more complication here that a radio button, on its own, cannot resolve.

Just reviewing how we got here … we established a “MobileFish” inspired HTML map element scenario with the following components …

  • a brilliant piece of research from the University of Western Sydney and ending up on the TreatyRepublic.net website as a map image … thanks
  • using the wonderful MobileFish image map (HTML element) creator helper … thanks

From there we’ve been developing external Javascript to allow a dropdown and checkboxes, with minimal change to that originally written HTML, and without resorting to PHP usage.

So please take a look at today’s live run (HTML source code (you could call) aboriginal_language_regions.html unchanged from yesterday, and calling on the external Javascript aboriginal_language_regions.js changed as per this link from yesterday) where we add those three new checkbox elements to refine our Google Search information, and add “map” functionality via Google Map Chart.

Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Dropdown Tutorial

Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Dropdown Tutorial

Today we mix geography and history in an image map web application exploring Indigenous Australian Language, History and Culture. We’ll be devoting a blog posting to the subject in the future, but today’s tutorial, extending on yesterday’s Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Primer Tutorial and its promise of more Javascript DOM functionality to follow, uses a Javascript DOM technique we term here, the “Javascript DOM Big Changes” technique, which is the idea of manipulating “document.body.innerHTML” as a whole.

This technique of manipulating “document.body.innerHTML” as a whole is all fine to do, but you should remember with it that values the user has set, since, with dropdown selection, for instance, need to be taken into account, as a separate stage afterwards, with this method … you’ll see what we mean …

Introduction to Australia’s Aboriginal Culture by David M. Welch. … Aboriginal culture probably represents the oldest surviving culture in the world


function selchange(osel) {
var ov=osel.value;
var oi=osel.id;
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/" target="_blank"/g, "+'" + ov.replace(/ /g, "%20") + "'" + '" target="_blank"');
document.getElementById(oi).value = ov;
}

… in code above, for the dropdown’s “onchange” event logic … or by trying your own scenarios … which am 100% certain you’ll be beavering away at within minutes of reading today’s offering?!

Is the “document.body.innerHTML” a refresh? It sort of acts like one, but it is more as well, because you have your own logic controls over what gets “refreshed into” … something a little more comfortable, perhaps?!

Now, back to the real world purpose of this technique. Yesterday we established a “MobileFish” inspired HTML map element scenario with the following components …

  • a brilliant piece of research from the University of Western Sydney and ending up on the TreatyRepublic.net website as a map image … thanks
  • using the wonderful MobileFish image map (HTML element) creator helper … thanks

… so now we virtually leave that HTML intact and only mildly changed, and do not use PHP, no matter how tempting that is for me to do, and use Javascript on that existant HTML (which, by the way, will eventually be fleshed out to avoid ‘Under construction’ messages, eventually) to perform significant functional improvements. This Javascript is external Javascript, hence the minimalist approach to changes to the HTML.

So take a look at today’s live run (HTML source code (you could call) aboriginal_language_regions.html changed as per this link from yesterday, and calling on the external Javascript aboriginal_language_regions.js) where we add the dropdown HTML select element at the top to refine our Google Search information.

Australian Indigenous Language Image Map Primer Tutorial

We want to show more ideas with Javascript DOM and the HTML map element over coming days.

The HTML map element is a very useful way to combine a graphical image with web functionality, by turning that image into a clickable, by region, entity.

For the theme of work over the next few days we combine history and geography. Remember at school that history and geography were choices at a certain stage of schooling, but today, we try to use geography to foster an interest in history … after all, where we live is really important to how history pans out for society.

Was inspired by a story of a several meter high atlas that is currently on display in our New South Wales library … and it takes two people to turn a page, else the weight of the page will tear it with only one person turning.

This thought of maps combined with me with a story about how diverse and interesting our Australian Indigenous Languages are here in Australia. There are hundreds of languages involved in Australia’s history, though we often only think of English … so take a look at today’s live run (HTML source code (you could call) aboriginal_language_regions.html) where we show …

  • a brilliant piece of research from the University of Western Sydney and ending up on the TreatyRepublic.net website as a map image … thanks
  • using the wonderful MobileFish image map (HTML element) creator helper … thanks

… to set up that initial additional “onclick” intelligence that takes you to some Google search engine opportunities to link a region of Australia with an indigenous tribe (and its language), as a first step in the functionality we develop over time.

Drag and Drop via Hotlinked External Javascript Tutorial

There are three very useful “hotwiring” ideas that usually work with your web applications …

  • via absolute image URLs
  • via absolute stylesheet URLs
  • via absolute external Javascript URLs

… and that last one is what we want to hone in regarding, with an idea we had to allow a user to …

  • write their own HTML (and derived Javascript) via a textarea element with initial template HTML code
  • construct a personalized HTML webpage after the light green submit button press … so that …
  • downloading the HTML is possible via “View Page Source” (context option) and Copy/Paste into a text editor (and then, perhaps, onto local system web server environment development via an Apache/PHP/MySql local web server product such as MAMP)

In order to allow this more generic approach we made changes to our external Javascript countries.js “Drag and Drop specialist” use by our “first draft proof of concept” PHP draganddrop_hotwiring.php web application you can try below (where a context option like “View Frame Source” might more be the go regarding downloading your HTML invention)

GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Tutorial

The primary aim of today’s work, onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Drag and Drop on iPad Tutorial iPad integration is to …

  • add similar drag and drop logic into our World Coastlines GeoJson web application … and along the way, also for the World Countries web application …
  • hold off involving the (pretty kludgy looking) vertical scrollbar of our drag and drop pin’s underlying HTML iframe …

    <iframe scrolling=no frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

    … until the first drag operation starting, calls on …

    parent.document.getElementById('iftr').scrolling='yes';

    … proving a Javascript DOM control of the “scrolling” attribute works (as we weren’t sure, having never done this before)

It’s worth beavering away at a guinea pig web application until (just about complete) satisfaction (for now) before having a parallel set of code changes happening simultaneously, we’ve always found.

So, what happened in “external Javascript land”? No need for a “regions.js” here, as parent.document.URL can be scrutinised in that “external Javascript land” to discover which web application is the parent, and act accordingly. So changed were our changed external Javascript countries.js in …

  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic did not work on an iPad

They’re both iOS! And usually the smaller iPhone has the problem and the larger iPad is okay when there is an odd scenario happening. So, what gives? Well, the odd thing is, it was just rearrangements of code and iframe srcdoc usage


<iframe frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

… that ended up helping us fix the issues. Figure this, on iPad our emoji pin could not be made visible down the bottom left of iPad screen but could be made to work in the title elements section?! Of course, we might have been having a bad day, but in our defence, even debugging in Safari via …

  • “long drag” (the user waits a long time between the drag initialization and the drop event)

… and because we found “dawdling” on a drag and drop fairly unnatural, we think this “long drag” idea “has legs”, in that it works well as a deliberate act made by a user, knowing at the end they benefit from their actions.

GeoJson World Coastline Function Noun Naming Tutorial

We’re working on an extension to yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial‘s Rivers Quiz functionality within our GeoJson World Coastlines web application, and have …

  • settled on an approach … but …
  • not yet finished on deployment issues

… but it is this approach we wanted to talk about today.

Our approach borrows from Object Oriented Programming (OOP) the idea that …

  • just as with OOP thinking class names are like nouns and the methods within that class are like verbs … we, with our approach
  • help readability of our non-OOP functional code by including those nouns and verbs, as well as ideas like use of plurals to indicate array involvement, with our Javascript function naming

… we can best illustrate to you via showing you new functions and variables and modified code to show you this approach in code …

GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial

It’s time to turn our attention away from GeoJson World Countries, as talked about with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial, and back to GeoJson World Coastline ideas. Why? We want to add a …


Rivers Quiz

… via the (generously provided) HTTP://geojson.xyz rivers lake centerlines GeoJSON data we download and then uploaded to become rivers.geojson data file. Now we were wondering out of …

  • use the URL to this GeoJSON file as the “src” attribute of an HTML iframe …

    <iframe id=ifrivers onload=getthejson(this); style=display:none; src=./rivers.geojson></iframe>

    … element (and then access the content via the onload event …

    var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

    function getthejson(iois) {
    var aconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
    if (aconto != null) {
    if (aconto.document) { aconto = aconto.document; }
    if (aconto.body != null) {
    rivers='' + aconto.body.innerHTML;
    setTimeout(populaterivers, 500);
    }
    }
    }

    … function) would suffice, or if we would end up using …
  • Ajax call

… to access this data, and were a bit surprised the former method was all fine. Of course there are snazzy inbuilt Javascript hierarchical calls you can make to process the data, but we find, with GeoJSON data, in the client realm (where we’re keen to stay with today’s work (though PHP serverside can, of course, be purloined to do all this work, should you have that available)), of Javascript, we just need very basic string functions …

  • split (versus PHP explode)
  • index (versus PHP strpos)
  • substring (versus PHP substr)
  • replace (versus PHP str_replace)
  • push (versus PHP array_push)

… to get by processing …


var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

function populaterivers() {
var found=-1, ifnd=0;
var rbits=rivers.split(']]}}');
var lastn='', hdrbit='', hbits=[];
for (var irr=1; irr<(-1 + rbits.length); irr++) {
hdrbit=rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature')[eval(-1 + rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature').length)] + '';
hbits=hdrbit.split(',' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'name' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34));
if (hbits.length > 1) {
if (lastn != hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0]) {
lastn=hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0];

if (arivers.length > 0) {
for (ifnd=0; ifnd<arivers.length; ifnd++) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).indexOf(':') != -1 && found == -1) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).split(':')[0] == lastn) { found=ifnd; }
}
}
}
if (found >= 0) {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers[found]+=' ' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'');
} else {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers.push(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,''));
}
} else {

}
}
}
lastn='';
}

… the (ever so) consistent GeoJSON data!

The progress with GeoJson World Countries helped too. We knew to add another HTML canvas layer as per

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element dedicated to nearest airport plotting …

    <canvas id=myacanvas height='180' width='360' style='background-color:transparent;z-index:55;display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;'></canvas>
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and to, at document.body onload logic …


// ... and extended document.body onload event logic has added, up near its top ...
elema = document.getElementById('myacanvas');
contexta = elema.getContext('2d');

… and supplement with another HTML sub “emoji button” ❓ ( &#10067; ) type element …


<sub style=cursor:pointer; onclick=getariver(); title='River Quiz'>&#10067;</sub>

… allowing for …

… to work the Rivers Quiz. Finally, though, for all good practicalities we also need those zoom logics out of GeoJson World Countries logic, via “emoji button” 🔎 ( &#128270; ) …


<a style=cursor:pointer; title='Zoom In' onclick='event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault(); zoomin();'>&#128270;</a>

… calling on meta name=viewport tag for mobile …


<meta id='myviewport' name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes' >

… as well as the zooming Javascript …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0); //izoom*=2;
} else {
//if (1 == 1) {
// alert('Please use your web browser View Menu options Zoom In or Zoom Out');
//} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
//location.href=document.URL.split('?')[0].split('#')[0] + '?zoom=' + encodeURIComponent('' + eval(2 * izoom));
//}
}
}

GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial

There are a few interesting aspects to today’s extension of functionality onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Airports Tutorial‘s GeoJson World Countries web application …

  • where to modularise … we think “data collection” commonality is a good reason, and so we make these changes to intair.php
  • making an (“animated emoji”) button dual purpose on top of originally being a single purpose button …

    <sub title='Show Nearby Airports' onclick='doair=how(true,this); twothousand*=2; this.title=this.title.substring(0,4) + String.fromCharCode(105) + String.fromCharCode(110) + String.fromCharCode(103) + this.title.replace(this.title.split(String.fromCharCode(32))[0] + String.fromCharCode(32), String.fromCharCode(32));' data-type=9992 style=cursor:pointer; id=portsub>&#9992;</sub>

    … working with the intairsuffix global variable that could add a new GET argument where both the “port” label in &port=[value] and that [value] can affect behaviour from the intair.php PHP helper tool above …

    var intairsuffix='', zhra=null, zhrb=null, kklat=0, kklong=0, doair=false, vsll=[-999.0], answered=true;

    function how(atr, isub) {
    var curgd=isub.getAttribute('data-type');
    if (('' + curgd) == '9992') { // airport
    if (intairsuffix != '') {
    intairsuffix='&port=air';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Airports and Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Airports and Ports';
    }
    } else if (('' + curgd) == '128674') { // port
    if (intairsuffix == '') {
    if (doair) {
    intairsuffix='&port=air';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Airports and Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Airports and Ports';
    } else {
    intairsuffix='&port=y';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Ports';
    }
    }
    }
    return true;
    }

    function feedhow() {
    var isub=document.getElementById('portsub');
    var curgd=isub.getAttribute('data-type');
    if (('' + curgd) == '9992') { // airport
    isub.innerHTML='&#128674;';
    isub.setAttribute('data-type', '128674');
    } else if (('' + curgd) == '128674') { // port
    isub.innerHTML='&#9992;';
    isub.setAttribute('data-type', '9992');
    }
    }

Introducing the Map Chart recognition of nearby Airports with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Nearest Airports Tutorial‘s progress on our latest GeoJson World Countries PHP web application, it set us to seeing …

  • the combination of Google Directions‘s talents allowing you to reposition on the fly … and …
  • the onmousemove event, at least for our non-mobile users

… could mean that if we pre-plot airports on the world map, given that the user has clicked the ✈ ( &#9992; ) “Show an Interest in Airports” emoji button, as a non-mobile user hovers over the world map, this pre-plotting might help trip planners with their travel options, should air travel be part of their interest, in the same way it is an option up at Google Directions in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below. The overlay scenario now reads

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …

Adding to the “zoom” progress of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial, today, we wanted to …

  • add interfacing functionality to the excellent Google Directions part of Google Maps, perhaps to help with Trip planning, or even just to associate a Placename with a latitude and longitude as clicked by the user, via the very simple URL arrangement …
    https://www.google.com/maps/dir/[decimalLatitudeDegrees]/[decimalLongitudeDegrees]
    … helped out by new Javascript functions …

GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial

Onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries TimeZone Times Tutorial GeoJson World Countries web application’s capabilities we want to add zooming, that doesn’t rely on web browser functionality (which continues to work). With that in mind we create a new emoji ( &#128270; ) 🔎 link, with this onclick event code …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0);
} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
}
}

… to multiply the webpage zoom factor in a programmatical way. To acheive this, we have a two way approach (as you might have surmised from above) …

  • for mobile, the logic is easier by introducing a new meta name=viewport …

    <meta id="myviewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes" >

    … tag … while …
  • for non-mobile we needed to realize that event.pageX and event.pageY co-ordinates grow in proportion to the zoom factor, and that better latitude and longitude determining lines of code would go

Some readers might be aware of our “theory regarding adverbs” and “web applications” on the net …

  • the most catered for adverb relates to the “where of life” … and the second banana is …
  • the “when of life”

… and, further to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial‘s emphasis on the “where of life”, today we add in a bit of the “when of life”, something right down the line of the remit of TimeZone talents.

Seriously though, a lot of us dream of the rest of the world on a world map, and wonder what time it is in other parts of the world. Phone call to relatives? A reminder SMS call? Email a game collaboration? It could all be part of life’s rich tapestry!

The expresion of this, for us, today, improving the communications with our current GeoJsom World Countries web application, take the form of emoji clocks from the 12 hour clock example forms such as …

  • 1 o’clock is &#128336; 🕐

  • 12 o’clock is &#128347; 🕛
  • 2:30 is &#128349; 🕝
  • 11:30 is &#128358; 🕦
  • 12:30 is &#128359; 🕧

We couldn’t shift much to do with the overall amount of “data” needing to be handled, in order to implement country SVG colour infilling, but we could shift the data from being …

  • client side (external) Javascript held … to, instead, (have that data) be (determined on the) …
  • server side PHP filling in the contents of our (relevant) HTML div id=svgd ahead of the document.body onload event timing …

There are many advantages regarding today’s task to …

Integrate Google Chart Geo Chart

… as an additional “drill down” map option, functionality adding onto the work of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Tutorial.

What deducible data item needs to be determined for these Geo Charts to work? We need a way to deduce ISO-2 character country codes from the ISO-3 character codes existing in the GeoJson “countries.geojson” data from yesterday’s work. We happened upon the extremely generous mapping data webpage to help with these ISO-2 character deductions

<?php

… in our image map area elements PHP creation code above. As you can see, extra “intelligence”, moving forward, is contained in area element global data attributes.

Which leaves us with why any of this helps functionality within our changed countries.php web application you can also try below?

  • Geo Chart can zoom into a country view …
  • Geo Chart can involve emoji (🏠 &127968;) or image (SVG) circle based symbology for the “User Clicked Place” and nearby TimeZone places respectively …
  • all these symbols can be clicked to open popup windows containing TimeZone Place Wikipedia webpages of relevance …
  • an emoji national flag (eg. Zambia “ZA” could be used to derive &#127487;&#127462; 🇿🇦 flag emoji) derived from those ISO-2 character codes can supplement the GeoJson (more ISO-3 character based) names presented in the underlying data, in the Geo Chart title …
  • contextualizing the accompanying Map Chart … and …
  • vice versa regarding hovering over symbology (which works on Map Chart, but not Geo Chart) …
  • within the Map Chart iframe a “Geo” link can glean a “zoomed out” world Geo Chart view of your TimeZone places

And feel free to (re-)try our tweaked “to make thinner the coastline linework” regions.php GeoJson PHP web application in a new window, or you can also try below.

Know your GeoJson! Yes, pretty obviously, any two GeoJson datasets might display the same in that “map plotting” sense, but one might have different and/or more “intelligence” than the other. Often, an XML has more “intelligence” than equivalent HTML (barring the use of global data attributes, that is), as today’s Corollacorollary.

And so, moving on from yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline TimeZone Tutorial, today, we present a new GeoJson admin 0 countries we download, and upload as “countries.geojson” data set, again via the excellent HTTP://geojson.xyz/ repository, thanks.

From it, we do get a different JSON additional “intelligence”

GeoJson World Drag and Drop on iPad Tutorial

GeoJson World Drag and Drop on iPad Tutorial

Yesterday’s GeoJson World Drag and Drop Google Tutorial had us at a very interesting position, one that we cannot recall ever happening before, that being …

  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic worked on an iPhone … but …
  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic did not work on an iPad

They’re both iOS! And usually the smaller iPhone has the problem and the larger iPad is okay when there is an odd scenario happening. So, what gives? Well, the odd thing is, it was just rearrangements of code and iframe srcdoc usage


<iframe frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

… that ended up helping us fix the issues. Figure this, on iPad our emoji pin could not be made visible down the bottom left of iPad screen but could be made to work in the title elements section?! Of course, we might have been having a bad day, but in our defence, even debugging in Safari via …

  • iPad Safari web browser invocation …
  • Apple white lead from iPad to MacBook Air …
  • MacBook Air Safari web browser Develop menu dropdown got us to debugging functionality

GeoJson World Drag and Drop Google Tutorial

We often turn to what we like to call …

  • “long hover” (ie. on non-mobile, wait for a long while after the onmouseover event initiation to see whether the user is still hovering) … and today, a bit like that, is the new, for us …
  • “long drag” (the user waits a long time between the drag initialization and the drop event)

… and because we found “dawdling” on a drag and drop fairly unnatural, we think this “long drag” idea “has legs”, in that it works well as a deliberate act made by a user, knowing at the end they benefit from their actions. For us, with our GeoJSON Map web application, yesterday, with GeoJson World Drag and Drop Pin Tutorial, the drag and drop led to …

  • Wikipedia country information webpage … and today, we allow a “long drag” get you to …

We’re working on an extension to yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial‘s Rivers Quiz functionality within our GeoJson World Coastlines web application, and have …

  • settled on an approach … but …
  • not yet finished on deployment issues

… but it is this approach we wanted to talk about today.

Our approach borrows from Object Oriented Programming (OOP) the idea that …

  • just as with OOP thinking class names are like nouns and the methods within that class are like verbs … we, with our approach
  • help readability of our non-OOP functional code by including those nouns and verbs, as well as ideas like use of plurals to indicate array involvement, with our Javascript function naming

… we can best illustrate to you via showing you new functions and variables and modified code to show you this approach in code …

GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial

It’s time to turn our attention away from GeoJson World Countries, as talked about with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial, and back to GeoJson World Coastline ideas. Why? We want to add a …


Rivers Quiz

… via the (generously provided) HTTP://geojson.xyz rivers lake centerlines GeoJSON data we download and then uploaded to become rivers.geojson data file. Now we were wondering out of …

  • use the URL to this GeoJSON file as the “src” attribute of an HTML iframe …

    <iframe id=ifrivers onload=getthejson(this); style=display:none; src=./rivers.geojson></iframe>

    … element (and then access the content via the onload event …

    var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

    function getthejson(iois) {
    var aconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
    if (aconto != null) {
    if (aconto.document) { aconto = aconto.document; }
    if (aconto.body != null) {
    rivers='' + aconto.body.innerHTML;
    setTimeout(populaterivers, 500);
    }
    }
    }

    … function) would suffice, or if we would end up using …
  • Ajax call

… to access this data, and were a bit surprised the former method was all fine. Of course there are snazzy inbuilt Javascript hierarchical calls you can make to process the data, but we find, with GeoJSON data, in the client realm (where we’re keen to stay with today’s work (though PHP serverside can, of course, be purloined to do all this work, should you have that available)), of Javascript, we just need very basic string functions …

  • split (versus PHP explode)
  • index (versus PHP strpos)
  • substring (versus PHP substr)
  • replace (versus PHP str_replace)
  • push (versus PHP array_push)

… to get by processing …


var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

function populaterivers() {
var found=-1, ifnd=0;
var rbits=rivers.split(']]}}');
var lastn='', hdrbit='', hbits=[];
for (var irr=1; irr<(-1 + rbits.length); irr++) {
hdrbit=rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature')[eval(-1 + rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature').length)] + '';
hbits=hdrbit.split(',' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'name' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34));
if (hbits.length > 1) {
if (lastn != hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0]) {
lastn=hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0];
found=-1;
if (arivers.length > 0) {
for (ifnd=0; ifnd<arivers.length; ifnd++) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).indexOf(':') != -1 && found == -1) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).split(':')[0] == lastn) { found=ifnd; }
}
}
}
if (found >= 0) {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers[found]+=' ' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'');
} else {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers.push(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,''));
}
} else {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }

}
}
}
lastn='';
}

… the (ever so) consistent GeoJSON data!

The progress with GeoJson World Countries helped too. We knew to add another HTML canvas layer as per

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element dedicated to nearest airport plotting …

    <canvas id=myacanvas height='180' width='360' style='background-color:transparent;z-index:55;display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;'></canvas>
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and to, at document.body onload logic …


// ... and extended document.body onload event logic has added, up near its top ...
elema = document.getElementById('myacanvas');
contexta = elema.getContext('2d');

… and supplement with another HTML sub “emoji button” ❓ ( &#10067; ) type element …


<sub style=cursor:pointer; onclick=getariver(); title='River Quiz'>&#10067;</sub>

… allowing for …

contexta.stroke();
}
}

… to work the Rivers Quiz. Finally, though, for all good practicalities we also need those zoom logics out of GeoJson World Countries logic, via “emoji button” 🔎 ( &#128270; ) …


<a style=cursor:pointer; title='Zoom In' onclick='event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault(); zoomin();'>&#128270;</a>

… calling on meta name=viewport tag for mobile …


<meta id='myviewport' name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes' >

… as well as the zooming Javascript …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0); //izoom*=2;
} else {
//if (1 == 1) {
// alert('Please use your web browser View Menu options Zoom In or Zoom Out');
//} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
//location.href=document.URL.split('?')[0].split('#')[0] + '?zoom=' + encodeURIComponent('' + eval(2 * izoom));
//}
}
}

GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial

There are a few interesting aspects to today’s extension of functionality onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Airports Tutorial‘s GeoJson World Countries web application …

  • where to modularise … we think “data collection” commonality is a good reason, and so we make these changes to intair.php
  • making an (“animated emoji”) button dual purpose on top of originally being a single purpose button …

    <sub title='Show Nearby Airports' onclick='doair=how(true,this); twothousand*=2; this.title=this.title.substring(0,4) + String.fromCharCode(105) + String.fromCharCode(110) + String.fromCharCode(103) + this.title.replace(this.title.split(String.fromCharCode(32))[0] + String.fromCharCode(32), String.fromCharCode(32));' data-type=9992 style=cursor:pointer; id=portsub>&#9992;</sub>

    … working with the intairsuffix global variable that could add a new GET argument where both the “port” label in &port=[value] and that [value] can affect behaviour from the intair.php PHP helper tool above …

    var intairsuffix='', zhra=null, zhrb=null, kklat=0, kklong=0, doair=false, vsll=[-999.0], answered=true;

Introducing the Map Chart recognition of nearby Airports with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Nearest Airports Tutorial‘s progress on our latest GeoJson World Countries PHP web application, it set us to seeing …

  • the combination of Google Directions‘s talents allowing you to reposition on the fly … and …
  • the onmousemove event, at least for our non-mobile users

… could mean that if we pre-plot airports on the world map, given that the user has clicked the ✈ ( &#9992; ) “Show an Interest in Airports” emoji button, as a non-mobile user hovers over the world map, this pre-plotting might help trip planners with their travel options, should air travel be part of their interest, in the same way it is an option up at Google Directions in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below. The overlay scenario now reads

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element dedicated to nearest airport plotting …

    <canvas id=myacanvas height='180' width='360' style='background-color:transparent;z-index:55;display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;'></canvas>
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial

Onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries TimeZone Times Tutorial GeoJson World Countries web application’s capabilities we want to add zooming, that doesn’t rely on web browser functionality (which continues to work). With that in mind we create a new emoji ( &#128270; ) 🔎 link, with this onclick event code …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0);
} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
}
}

… to multiply the webpage zoom factor in a programmatical way. To acheive this, we have a two way approach (as you might have surmised from above) …

  • for mobile, the logic is easier by introducing a new meta name=viewport …

    <meta id="myviewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes" >

    … tag … while …

Some readers might be aware of our “theory regarding adverbs” and “web applications” on the net …

  • the most catered for adverb relates to the “where of life” … and the second banana is …
  • the “when of life”

… and, further to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial‘s emphasis on the “where of life”, today we add in a bit of the “when of life”, something right down the line of the remit of TimeZone talents.

Seriously though, a lot of us dream of the rest of the world on a world map, and wonder what time it is in other parts of the world. Phone call to relatives? A reminder SMS call? Email a game collaboration? It could all be part of life’s rich tapestry!

The expresion of this, for us, today, improving the communications with our current GeoJsom World Countries web application, take the form of emoji clocks from the 12 hour clock example forms such as …

  • 2:30 is &#128349; 🕝
  • 11:30 is &#128358; 🕦

GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial

Mostly on smaller devices (such as an iPhone), but elsewhere as well, but less drastically, this morning, using our current Display GeoJson Countries web application we would get the Safari web browser error …

A problem repeatedly occurred with https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/HTMLCSS/countries.php

… with web application work up to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Colour Infill Tutorial.

On discovering our first solution theory of turning yesterday’s mapsvg.js external Javascript work into an async piece of work made no difference to this situation, we surmised that the huge amount of content held in the Javascript (ie. client side) global variable appendtoinnerHTML was causing memory issues. We couldn’t shift much to do with the overall amount of “data” needing to be handled, in order to implement country SVG colour infilling, but we could shift the data from being …

  • client side (external) Javascript held … to, instead, (have that data) be (determined on the) …
  • server side PHP filling in the contents of our (relevant) HTML div id=svgd ahead of the document.body onload event timing …

    … meaning the web application’s underlying HTML size increased at the expense of no need for external Javascript involvement any more

… in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below.

We’re not exactly sure why, but …

  • this improved web application stability …

    …everywhere … and an idea we’d ditched yesterday of …
  • idea to pre-colour “land” parts of the world GeoJson map green (ahead of the document.body onload event) also came good (after causing problems yesterday)

… meaning now, “overlay” wise, we could say

  • document.body lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework …
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and we (reckon we’ve) improved the colour coding user experience at the same time.

We noticed that tweaks in the changed …

There are many advantages regarding today’s task to …

Integrate Google Chart Geo Chart

… as an additional “drill down” map option, functionality adding onto the work of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Tutorial.

What deducible data item needs to be determined for these Geo Charts to work?

We happened upon the extremely generous mapping data webpage to help with these ISO-2 character deductions

… in our image map area elements PHP creation code above. As you can see, extra “intelligence”, moving forward, is contained in area element global data attributes.

Which leaves us with why any of this helps functionality within our changed countries.php web application you can also try below?

  • Geo Chart can zoom into a country view …
  • Geo Chart can involve emoji (🏠 &127968;) or image (SVG) circle based symbology for the “User Clicked Place” and nearby TimeZone places respectively …
  • all these symbols can be clicked to open popup windows containing TimeZone Place Wikipedia webpages of relevance …
  • an emoji national flag (eg. Zambia “ZA” could be used to derive &#127487;&#127462; 🇿🇦 flag emoji) derived from those ISO-2 character codes can supplement the GeoJson (more ISO-3 character based) names presented in the underlying data, in the Geo Chart title …
  • contextualizing the accompanying Map Chart … and …
  • vice versa regarding hovering over symbology (which works on Map Chart, but not Geo Chart) …
  • within the Map Chart iframe a “Geo” link can glean a “zoomed out” world Geo Chart view of your TimeZone places

Know your GeoJson! Yes, pretty obviously, any two GeoJson datasets might display the same in that “map plotting” sense, but one might have different and/or more “intelligence” than the other. Often, an XML has more “intelligence” than equivalent HTML (barring the use of global data attributes, that is), as today’s Corollacorollary.

And so, moving on from yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline TimeZone Tutorial, today, we present a new GeoJson admin 0 countries we download, and upload as “countries.geojson” data set, again via the excellent HTTP://geojson.xyz/ repository, thanks.

From it, we do get a different JSON additional “intelligence”
