Really odd that as the code doesn’t use cookies. Maybe if you’re loading the html page as C:/…/geocode.html instead of http://localhost/…./geocode.html then the ajax would be cross-domain, so allowing cross-domain cookies would allow cross-domain ajax too?

Anyway, glad it worked

Problem solved … would only show first row … until I allowed ALL cookies in the browser!

Dave, you appear to have got this working. Can you please send me the contents of your geo directory i.e. the varios html, php, script files.

Thanks

Fred

Unfortunately not, and this is more a problem with google's geocoding of UK addresses than with the method itself: http://wheresrhys.co.uk/2009/07/anarchy-in-the-uk/

I'm not really planning any further development, although before you go any further I'd also take a look at jQuery ui multiselect.

Are there any plans to add filtering capability?

The one thing I miss is being able to type the first three letters of the option and have it scroll to that section.

I was thinking about adding a text box below the scroll box and filter on text box change.

Any thoughts?

(I’m not asking you to program it, I just wanted to be sure that you weren’t going to release this functionality two days after I finish coding it. :) )

Hi I have a database which contains all the details for england, will this populate the geocodes for each of the cities/towns villages, neighborhoods, etc without having the postcode for them? essentially can it be manipulated to use the town/city names and the other required fields to automatically generate the geocodes for each of the locations accurately?

Thanks for this.. reminds me of http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/containers.htm
if you could make this into a multi select box that can submit all the values as either a string or an array, you would have a small killer app.

Two things might be happening here:

Off the top of my head, to find an ungeocoded row the sql query looks for entries where lat = '', so null would probably break this. The datatype of this column has to be a string and MySQL by default leaves the default entry of a string as ''
Less likely is that Google's geocoder can't handle strangely formatted postcodes, in which case you'd have to write a script to go through your postcodes putting in a space before the last 3 characters (which I think will correctly format most if not all british postcodes)

I should add that it is visible until you make a selection in the non CS select.
