I'm trying to figure out how I can take a foreach loop but run it inside of a javascript. Or if that isn't possible, rewrite it in javascript. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and maybe point me in the right direction?
This is the foreach loop:
It generates a list of all the Coordinates for the Showcase items in a given category and works great.
But what I'd like to do is be able to put that function into a piece of google maps javascript running on the same page so that it would generate a list of markers for that map, based on the coordinates in each showcase item.
In the map javascript, a marker is written like this:
And I have maps running succesfully with the coordinates populated like this:
What I'd like to do is generate a list so that all of the items coordinates get populated in that javascript item and therefor as a pin on the map.
Basically like this (except this obviously doesn't work):
Anyone know how I might be able to do this? I've searched around and found a javascript 'for-in' function but I'm totally lost on how that would apply.

Code:
<xen:foreach loop="$items" value="$item">
<p>These are coordinates:{$item.coords}</p>
</xen:foreach>
