Alphabetical list like google maps (A,B,C,...)

Hi:

I would like to display a list (using article_custom) and a map geolocating the results, like local.google.com:

For instante, listing 10 results per page:

A – 1st result
B – 2nd sencond result
C – 3th result
…
K – 10th result.

< pagination >

secong page:

A – 11st result
B – 12nd sencond result
C – 13th result
…
K – 20th result.

I got solved the query to obtain the results, the map, but… How can I assign a letter to each result per page (A,B,C,D…K)?

ol { list-style-type: upper-latin; }

Not supported by IE I think…

list-style-type: upper-latin; is supported by IE8 and up.

However, the seemingly identical list-style-type: upper-alpha; is supported by IE5.5 and up, so use that if you want.

Re: Alphabetical list like google maps (A,B,C,...)

Thanks guys, but the CSS way is not valid sollution. The CSS letters are content generated by the browser on client side, and I really need to control the letters asigned to the results in order to relationate the HTML results with the markers on the map, make a hover effect on the HTML letters with equivalente hover effect on markers letters to enfatize that relationship, etc.

So the question is still alive: there is a smart way to assign a consecutive letter to each result on an article custom form? I’m thinking on something like using adi_calc but with letters instead of numbers, but don’t know if someone invented such kind of plugin or if there is a php function to assings letter following alphabetic order.

Re: Alphabetical list like google maps (A,B,C,...)

I found a solution!

<txp:article_custom form=“alpha-results” limit=“10”/>

form alpha-results:

<txp:rah_repeat value=“A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,W,X,Y,Z”>
<li><txp:rah_repeat_value/> – <txp:title/></li>
</txp:rah_repeat>

And that returns:

A – title first article
B – title second article
…
J – title tenth article

OH, NO, this is not a solution, the letters are ok, but no re result. I will play with it a bit more.
