Despite implementing an event listener, the Google Maps API is failing to resize properly when created using AJAX

Currently, I am facing an issue with the Google Maps API as the map generated is not resizing to fit the div. Instead, it shows a large grey area which is quite frustrating for me. Can someone please assist me in resolving this problem?

Below is the code responsible for generating the map:

<div class="map" style='width: 750px; height: 200px;'></div> 

This targeted div is located within a partial that gets rendered during an Ajax request.

$(".categorybox2").on('click', function() {
    choice3 = $(this).text();

    $.ajax({
        url: "/result/" + choice1 + "/" + choice2 + "/" + choice3,
        type: "GET",
        dataType: "script",
        data: { choice1: choice1,
                choice2: choice2,
                choice3: choice3 },
        complete: function(data) {

            function initialize()
            {
                var arrcount=0
                var arr=$(".hidden").text().split(",")
                for (var i=0; i<=2; i++) {
                  if (i === 0) {
                    arrcount=0
                  } else if (i === 1) {
                    arrcount = 2
                  } else if (i === 2) {
                    arrcount = 4
                  }

                  var mapProp = {
                  center:new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(arr[arrcount]),parseFloat(arr[arrcount+1])),
                  zoom:15,
                  mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
                  };

                  var myLatlng= (parseFloat(arr[arrcount]),parseFloat(arr[arrcount+1]))
                  var map=new google.maps.Map($(".map")[i]
                    ,mapProp);

                  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                    position: mapProp.center,
                    map: map,
                  });

                  google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function() {
                     //var center = map.getCenter();

                     //map.setCenter(center);
                     google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
                  });



            }
          }

            initialize()

        }
    })

});

Initially, the map appears like this:

As you can see, when I resize the window, the map changes despite being in an idle state for a long period. Only resizing the browser window triggers it to fill in the grey areas:

The map should be centered on the marker, like this:

I have also attempted using "bounds_changed" instead of "idle", but unfortunately, it did not solve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Edit:

Here is the entire partial including the relevant CSS and JavaScript:

<% @result.each do |event| %>
  <div class="eachresult">
    <div class="matchscore">
      Relevance score:
      <a class="score"><%= event[0].round(1) %>%</a>
    </div>

    <div class="map" style='width: 750px; height: 200px;'></div>

  </div>
<% end %>

The initial CSS on the div holding the map:

.wrapper .output,
.wrapper .output1,
.wrapper #blackness {
    display: none;
}

And here is the JavaScript triggering the display of the map:

$(".price").on('click', function() {
    $(".price, .question3, .bk2category").fadeOut( function() {


      var black = setTimeout(function() {
        $(".output, .question4, .output1")
          .delay(500)
          .show()
          .animate({left:"+15", opacity: 1}, 1000);
      }, 1000);

      $(".blackness").fadeOut();
      $("#foo").fadeOut("slow")
    });
  });

Answer №1

Hey everyone, I finally cracked the code! After realizing that the map was not resizing until I manually moved the browser, I came up with a solution to introduce a delay in the map rendering using JavaScript. And guess what? It worked like a charm!

Check out the snippet of code below:

setTimeout(function() {
            initialize()
          }, 3000)

Big shoutout to all those who provided assistance! You guys rock! :)
