So, I've been racking my brain for a couple of days on this, and I can't seem to get anywhere. My question is: Is it possible to connect to an external JavaScript library, and subsequently make calls to said library through an Athena LivePage element?
Sure, maybe. It depends what you mean by all those words. "connect" to an external javascript library? Don't you mean "load" an external javascript library? And how is making calls to a library different than making calls to any random function? I don't know a lot about Google Maps, but I do know that Divmod's most recent product (Blendix) uses Google Maps to display locations. You can see this in action on my blendix page: http://blendix.com/users/glyph/ or view the source code: http://blendix.com/__jsmodule__/16f16613df2ba86d19271a41115d50bedf4b461d/Ble... Have a look at the 'initializeMap' method to see an example of integration between Athena and Google Maps. Please note that this isn't open source; we haven't released the code anywhere yet (although this part is JavaScript, so you could of course have just done 'view source' and figured out that link for yourself).
