    Default Re: Google maps widget

    Hi Acorn
    No problem, I still haven't quite succeeded I cant seem to get the code to copy from Bing & create a placeholder.

    I must be doing something wrong.

    I will try again later!

    Regards

    Dave
    PS can you recommend a decent form builder (FOC if poss')I just tried Woofu & the doesn't appear to have much adjustment on the size, I just want basic enquiry forms, nothing fancy.

    I steer away from Xara's widgets, they can become out of date. Easier just to use a rectangle as a placeholder & paste in either Googles or Bings supplied code:

    Hi Egg
    I can look at those, I'm just looking at creating a simple customer enquiry form for property but the standard one's on Xara seem to create large foms that you can't adjust the size & take up to much space on a property listing.

    I just want something small with name email & phone number like the attached. Thsi one is nice & simple & takes up very little space on the property listing.


    I haven't ever looked at google forms.

    Kind Regards Dave

    Hi Acorn
    I sorted the maps, just to let you know.

    I didn't use the Xara maps widgets, I found it easier to just copy code from Bing maps & create a placeholder & copy the code in the body.

    Thanks again.

    Regards Dave
