Traveled Map

[DGShannon_imp]

Didn't work posting it for me either so I saved it to a photo file, downloaded it to photobucket and posted from there.

Our forum posts would have to allow the posting of HTML code, for it to actually render the map. The code is using a Google API (Application Programming Interface) to reach out and grab the map image, and then passing code to it that tells it which states to color in.

Forum software that I have dealt with in the past typically has the enabling of HTML code an option you can turn on, or off. Having it on means that users can include active code (like this) in their postings, pulling in content from elsewhere, which can be dangerous. In general, it is best to leave it disabled, unless your REALLY trust your users.
