Hi Tom i’ve managed to build my own ASP/Access caching system. But I would like to hardcode UK postcode in script, but i don’t know how ??? I would like that my location is immidiatly displayed and centered on the map without pasting uk post code in input file field.

Tnx

O.K. - this is just a little too weird. Two fellows with the same name - both with a blog on the same topic.

i want to use this code for placing markers on the map where people live.
I want to have a form and then have the client enter postcode and address fields then it will place a marker on the map where they live.
So all markers are there when you browse.
How can i do this thanks.

Sorry!
Additional to above - Please, Please not as the crow flies, I never tried that. I always find it better to drive from A to B.
Thanks again.

Sh*t Hot
Really love this - Had to mess about a lot though due to my lack of knowledge and experience but now fully working. Could someone please explain why its not a good idea to cache results for ever as it seems stupid to me to request for the post code again when you know its not ever going to change ( is it ?? ).
Could anyone also advise if it would be possible at all to store the distance from a fixed point for all the postal codes obtained so that the result could be used in other applications/calculations. I see a few of these around but the results they produce do not seem to be extractable/storable in txt format. If no-one can say exactly how to do this, just a definate can/can’t be done would be great.
Thank you Mr Anthony for your valued work here.

Hi Tom,

great tutorial thank you very much, i have adapted it slightly to run the cached script using a database list of results which runs through an XML file. However the non cached results do not carry across the postcode data individually. For some reason it overwrites all the previous information. i’m sure it is because the postcode variable is outside the inner function but i cannot seem to get round it ?is there anything i can do to prevent the innerHTML being re-written - i use += to just add the information into the p tag - the function USES the postcode data correctly and returns the correct lat long into the database, but it stores the same postcode for all records.

please can you help ?
