Well… as many Javascript developers know, a common practice to handle big string concatenation, is to implement a sort of “stringBuffer” by using an array as data container and then convert it to a string by using the method join(). Ie:
var buffer = [];
var target = document.getElementById("box");
for (var i=0; i<10000; i++) {
buffer .push(['<p id="node_', i, '" id="node_', i, '">Content ', i, '</p>'].join(""));
}
target.innerHTML = buffer.join("");
This is theoretically the fastest way to manage huge strings and to speed up the building of dynamic content.

The main feature provided by the Google maps API, is the ability to convert an human readable location, such “Milan, Italy” to a geographic location represented by latitude and longitude, this process is called geocoding. The GClientGeocoder is the class which provide this service, through the method getLatLng() which accepts two arguments: a string representing an address and a callback function that will be called once the coordinates are retrieved. If the address will be successful located, the callback function will be invoked by passing a GLatLng object as argument, otherwise the function will receive a null. GLatLng is an object which represents a geographic location (latitude and longitude).
To request a geolocation for a given address we use a similar code:
