Ok, thank you. But i want to use this component in the form where user insert a content (in the backend). Are there any solutions?

I am not sure to have all understand, could you precise what you want to do ? (Where do you want to show your widget displaying a map?)

I want to use a widget like this (http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#map_geocoding_simple) in the form where user insert a content (in the backend) and store the coordinates in a property of the content.
Is it possible?

You can write your custom properties page (make a copy of the originial, adding your map) and modify the navigation rules to point to your custom page.

Someone have done that to show the workflow history : http://www.wowww.nl/wordpress/2007/09/14/creating-an-alfresco-task-history-the-java-style/

Does someone think about a better solution ?

Looks like dranakan is missing the key term, "Widget". Correct me if I'm incorrect, but you're trying to create a custom xform widget with the dojo javascript framework.

The only real documentation I can find from alfresco is http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Creating_XForms_Widgets . This page doesn't really give anything except a partial high-level description of the widget framework in alfresco.

I'm currently looking to customize a few widgets myself (dependent form elements) so I'm very interested in any available information on this.

Have you made any progress in your search?
