Map Events

JavaScript is event driven when used within a web browser, which means that user interactions cause events to occur.

Event Listeners

Event handling within the QuickMap^® API is enabled by using the utility class Events to register event listeners.

The API Reference defines Events available for applicable classes.

var map = new MapDS.Maps.Map( "map", {zoom:9, centre:new MapDS.LatLng( -33.85011, 151.211626 )} ); 
MapDS.Events.addListener(map, "click", function() { 
    alert("You clicked the map."); 
});
