Can anybody help me out here?
I'm trying to figure out a way to write the code to do the following:
Using Mapquests LinkFree URLs I want to pull the following fields out of an Access database and put them in a link. See http://www.mapquest.com/solutions/product.adp?page=linkfree
My db is called homes.mdb
The Table is called properties.
The fields I want to pull are Address, City, Province, Postal_Code, and Country.
Mapquest states the following on their website:
General URL Parameters: The following parameters may be included in the URL.
Example: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?
city=denver&state=CO&address=1565+california+st&zip=80202&country=us&zoom=5
The following address field combinations can be used:
Address, city, state and ZIP code
Address, city and state
Address and city
City and state
If ZIP code doesn't match the other information, it is ignored.
Other URL Restrictions:
The URL must follow standard HTML rules:
There can be no carriage returns in the URL
There can be no spaces within the HREF. Replace spaces with the plus sign (+).
Special characters within the URL must be replaced by their octal equivalent, because the CGI on the MapQuest site interprets them incorrectly.
Use %%25 to represent the % character
Use %%26 to represent the & character
Use %%30 to represent the + character
My db field almost matches up with the fields in the link above. All except State and Zip Code. Zoom is a constant that will be set to 5.
My Fields Mapquest Fields
Address Address
City City
Province State
Postal_Code Zip
Country Country
What is the code that will pull the fields out of the dB and place them in a URL to show a map of a particular record. I need the map to open in a new window or use the HTTP XML object to parse the map somehow.
Can anyone help. I'm not too good with ASP yet.
Thanks
