How to display Google map for city



I am trying to display a Google map when a user searches for a city and presses the search button but I am not getting how to do it properly. Here is my code done so far. Not getting how to take user input and check that city is in array; if yes, then display it on Google map. For example, if user types city name Houston, USA then it should display on Google map after checking if city name is in our database.





Script:







function searchResult(cityname) {

var namesOfCity = ["houston,boston,newyork,florida"];



//check the user input



//if match display it on google map

}



function initialize()

{

if(GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);

map.setUIToDefault();

}

}







HTML







<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">





<input type="text" id="cityname" value="" name=""/>

<input id="search" type="button" value="Search" onclick="searchResult('cityname')" />

<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 450px; position: relative; background-color: rgb(229, 227, 223);"></div>



</body>

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
