Menu
I am using JQuery mobile with the Google Map API. The map is not displayed properly unless I refresh the page and I don't understand why.
here is my map.html file:
<div data-role="page" id="map-page">
<div data-role="content" id="canvas-map" style="background-color:red"></div>
<script src="js/map.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $canvasMap = $('#canvas-map');
$('#canvas-map').on('pagebeforeshow', initMap());
</script>
</div>
and my map.js file:
function initMap() {
"use strict";
google.maps.visualRefresh = true;
var marker, map,
myLocation = {lat:50, lon:-80},
mapOptions = {
zoom: 5,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(myLocation.lat, myLocation.lon),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.PLAN,
disableDefaultUI: true
};
$('#canvas-map').css("height", "200px").css("padding", "0px");
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('canvas-map'), mapOptions);
/** MyPosition **/
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
draggable: false,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(myLocation.lat, myLocation.lon),
});
}
If I navigate from another page to the above page, I get the following result:
And then when I refresh, I get the expected result:
It is obviously not a problem with the canvas, since it is displayed (in red). Plus,if I navigate trhough the map, I can see the marker displayed at the right position. These screenshots were made using Google Chrome, I tried with Firefox and the canvas is here completely red, no map at all.
PS: this is a simple version of my original code, but the behavior is the same.
See Gajotres' answer for details, but basically, within the link to access map.html page, adding target="_blank" solved the issue. Note that target="_self" seems to work as well, strange since it is supposed to be the default value. Details on target here.

There's a trick how google maps v3 framework can be easily implemented with jQuery Mobile.
Lets talk about the problems here. your content div has a height and width problem, mainly because only time page dimensions can be calculated correctly is during the pageshow event. But even then content div will not cover full page.
Your problem can be solved with a little bit of CSS :
#content {
padding: 0 !important;
position : absolute !important;
top : 40px !important;
right : 0 !important;
left : 0 !important;
height: 200px !important;
}
Basically you are forcing your content to cover available space.
