#1

Hi all,
I’m new in this forum and I do not know if is the appropiate category.
This is my problem.
I have create a map in an hiden form and the right procedure to load all, but when I show the form it is fulled only a little part of this form and I have to reload it. After that I can see all.
What can I do?

Cheers,
Sergio

Hi @seta59 and welcome here!

There is not one single way to create a map in a form, there are hundreds of possibilities.
Without knowing your code it’s nearly impossible to help you.

Hello Vinzenz,
thanks for your answer,
I have understand that is not caused by openstreetmap but from the form that is closed and every sets are 0. I have planed to create the map at push button event.
Regards again,

Sergio

Hi Sergio,

I’ve reduced some code of mine to the bare minimum and added a button to show the map. It works like expected, the map doesn’t need a reload.

By the way I’m using the leaflet-library.

Best regards
Vinzenz

Edit: changed the code to the CDN of leaflet, so that no local leaflet library is needed.
