Hi all,<br><br>So, I&#39;ve been racking my brain for a couple of days on this, and I can&#39;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?<br>
<br>Just to let you know where this is going, I had planned on embedding a map in my web application, using the Google Maps API. The problem, as I&#39;m sure you can guess, is that the JavaScript for GM is loaded directly from their servers through the Google AJAX API. Now, I know their Ajax API does create a unique namespace for the function calls (eg: google.maps.Map2, etc.), but, so far, I have been unable to get a method from a LivePage or LiveElement to be able to talk with the Google API. Just to be clear, I have no problem simply importing the GM API and displaying the map -- my problem is that I want to add markers to the map, based on some server-side events. Effectively, I will have little to no client -&gt; server communication during a normal visit (except, of course, the user&#39;s interaction with the map, which happens on Google&#39;s end anyway). <br>
<br>When I tried to figure out how to do this in the first place, I tried modifying the &quot;Athena LiveElement Tutorial&quot; by embedding the JavaScript call (a simple &quot;echo&quot; function) directly into the HTML source (instead of using the jsClass attribute in LiveElement); from there, I tried a number of ways to get the LiveElement to &quot;talk&quot; to the embedded JS. No dice.<br>
<br>Perhaps I&#39;m missing something, or perhaps what I&#39;m trying to do is just not supported. I&#39;d supply some code here, but I really don&#39;t know if that would be very useful; let me know, however, if you feel otherwise.<br>
<br>Anyway, any insight will be helpful.<br><br>Thanks a lot,<br>Travis<br clear="all"><br>
