http://coding.pressbin.com/18/Display-a-Google-Map-when-you-hover-over-location-text/ I am following this tutorial on how to display google map over a text. Yes it appears but in a wrong place. See, the map is displaying on the bottom of the page. When I hover the map image the div itself has no attributes compared to the working ones.
Working code:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 678px; top: 170px; z-index: 999; display: none; padding: 1px; margin-left: 5px; background-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); width: 302px; box-shadow: 0pt 1px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);">
<a target="new" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Brookhaven, PA&z=11">
<img border="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brookhaven, PA&zoom=12&size=300x300&sensor=false&format=png&markers=color:blue|Brookhaven, PA">
</a>
</div>
What's in my browser:
<div style="display: none;">
<a target="new" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4417 Edgmont Avenue, 19015&z=11">
<img border="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=4417 Edgmont Avenue, 19015&zoom=16&size=300x300&sensor=false&format=png&markers=color:blue|4417 Edgmont Avenue, 19015">
</a>
</div>
I'm lost on the div part. Please help!

This is what works for me:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>jQuery Test Script</title>
</head>
<body>
<span class="mapThis" place="600 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15282" zoom="16">Duquesne University</span> is located in the great town of <span class="mapThis" place="Pittsburgh, PA" zoom="12">Pittsburgh</span> in the great state of <span class="mapThis" place="Pennsylvania" zoom="6">Pennsylvania</span>.
<script src="jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom/js/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/test_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Here's the jQuery to make it happen:
// JavaScript Document
$(document).ready(function () {
var cursorX;
var cursorY;
if (window.Event) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
}
document.onmousemove = getCursorXY;
$(".mapThis").each(function() {
var dPlace = $(this).attr("place");
var dZoom = $(this).attr("zoom");
var dText = $(this).html();
$(this).html('<a onmouseover="mapThis.show(this);" style="text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px dotted #999" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=' + dPlace + '&z=' + dZoom + '">' + dText + '</a>');
});
});
var mapThis=function(){
var tt;
var errorBox;
return{
show:function(v){
if (tt == null) {
var pNode = v.parentNode;
pPlace = $(pNode).attr("place");
pZoom = parseInt($(pNode).attr("zoom"));
pText = $(v).html();
tt = document.createElement('div');
$(tt).html('<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=' + pPlace + '&z=11" target="new"><img border=0 src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=' + pPlace + '&zoom=' + pZoom + '&size=300x300&sensor=false&format=png&markers=color:blue|' + pPlace + '"></a>');
tt.addEventListener('mouseover', function() { mapHover = 1; }, true);
tt.addEventListener('mouseout', function() { mapHover = 0; }, true);
tt.addEventListener('mouseout', mapThis.hide, true);
document.body.appendChild(tt);
}
fromleft = cursorX;
fromtop = cursorY;
fromleft = fromleft - 25;
fromtop = fromtop - 25;
tt.style.cssText = "position:absolute; left:" + fromleft + "px; top:" + fromtop + "px; z-index:999; display:block; padding:1px; margin-left:5px; background-color:#333; width:302px; -moz-box-shadow:0 1px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);";
tt.style.display = 'block';
},
hide:function(){
tt.style.display = 'none';
tt = null;
}
};
}();
function getCursorXY(e) {
cursorX = (window.Event) ? e.pageX : event.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft : document.body.scrollLeft);
cursorY = (window.Event) ? e.pageY : event.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop);
}
I know this post is old but I thought it might be useful if anyone stumbles upon this and is looking for a more updated example. Although the code in the answer works fine it is not written in a jQuery friendly format. I also found that the way the event listeners were configured made it's use a little difficult. Lastly, the fixed size of the map just does not work in today's responsive world. Hope this helps someone!
Add #mapHolder anywhere in your page and style it to your liking:
<div id='mapHolder' style='whatever you want'></div>
Place links anywhere in your page that you what to display a map when moused over:
<a class="mapthis" place="properly formatted address" zoom="12">MAP</a>
jQuery:
$(document).on("mouseenter", ".mapthis", function(e) {
var desiredMapWidthPercent = .8;
var mapWidth = Math.round($(window).width() * desiredMapWidthPercent);
var aspectRatio = mapWidth / $(window).height();
var mapHeight = Math.round($(window).height() * aspectRatio);
var boxWidth = mapWidth;
var boxHeight = mapHeight;
var scale = 1;
var pZoom = parseInt($(this).attr("zoom"));
var pPlace = $(this).attr("place");
if((mapHeight > 640) || (mapWidth > 640)){
mapHeight = Math.round(mapHeight / 3.5);
mapWidth = Math.round(mapWidth / 3.5);
scale = 2;
if(((mapHeight) > 1280) || ((mapWidth) > 1280)){
mapHeight = 640;
mapWidth = 640;
boxWidth = 1280;
boxHeight = 1280;
}else{
boxWidth = mapWidth * 2;
boxHeight = mapHeight * 2;
}
}
var fromleft = Math.max(0, ((($(window).width() - boxWidth) / 2) + $(window).scrollLeft()))+'px';
var fromtop = Math.max(0, ((($(window).height() - boxHeight) / 2) + $(window).scrollTop()))+'px';
var pText = $(this).html();
$('#mapHolder').html('<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=' + pPlace + '&z=11" target="new"><img border=0 src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=' + pPlace + '&zoom=' + pZoom + '&size='+mapWidth+'x'+mapHeight+'&scale='+scale+'&sensor=false&format=png&markers=color:blue|' + pPlace + '"></a>');
$('#mapHolder').css({position:'absolute',top:fromtop,left:fromleft, width:boxWidth, z-index:'999'});
$('#mapHolder').show();
});
$(document).on("mouseleave", ".mapthis", function(e) {
if($(e.relatedTarget).closest('#mapHolder').length){
$("#mapHolder").on("mouseleave", function(e) {
$('#mapHolder').hide();
});
return;
}
$('#mapHolder').hide();
});
