[edit] Development
Content was compiled from reports researched and published by the Movement Advancement Project, especially MAP’s Momentum Report. The report, produced biennially since 2007, organizes and analyzes indicators of the LGBT movement's progress toward securing equal opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in American life.
The technical structure and online presentation was developed by Doug Hays, founder of EastFace Software.

[edit] Basic usage
The easiest method is to:
- Copy the URL of the Equality Map webpage you would like to display - example: http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/safe_school_laws
- Add the iFrame tag (see below iFrame tag options)
- Insert the URL and iFrame tag into the below sample iFrame code.
- You may need to adjust the height to fit the entire content.
- Add the final line of code to your page's HTML in the location where you would like the map and content displayed. The code should look like this:
<iframe id='lgbtmap-iframe' src="http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/safe_school_laws?iframe=single" width="680" height="3250" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
[edit] Parameters
| Parameter | Options | Description | Example Code | Demo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Width | Suggestion depends on src parameter. Safest is: width="680" |
Set the width of the iFrame displaying the map. Generally width="680" will work - but with a couple of noted exceptions in the Src parameres below and when you set ?iframe=full you should set width="1000" to prevent some of the content from being cut off on the right side. |
<iframe id='lgbtmap-iframe' src="http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality_maps/safe_school_laws?iframe=single" width="680" height="3200" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
Width example |
| Height | Suggestion depends on src parameter. Safest is: height="3400" |
Set the height of the iFrame displaying the map. You should check Src parameters below to see the recommended height setting for your content, this prevents content from being cut off of the bottom. |
<iframe id='lgbtmap-iframe' src="http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps?iframe=full" width="1000" height="3400" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
Height example |
| Scrolling | Suggested: scrolling="no" |
Set scrolling for iFrame itself - setting to yes allows you to display full content at full size within a smaller space |
<iframe id='lgbtmap-iframe' src="http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps?iframe=full" width="1000" height="900" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
Scrolling example |
| iFrame tag | Determines if menu allowing selection of other issues and states is displayed | |||
?iframe=full |
Displays the menu that allows users to display other states and issues. If you use this setting it is suggested that you set height="3400" and and width="1000" to prevent other pages the user may select from getting cut off. |
<iframe id='lgbtmap-iframe' src="http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps?iframe=full" width="1000" height="3400" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
full iFrame tag example | |
?iframe=single |
This is the recommended setting. It helps keep the user focused on a particular map by hiding the menu that allows the users to navigate to other states and issues. If you use this setting you should use the suggested height setting for your desired src paramater below. If you are using this option with a full US map, it is suggested that you set height="900" and width="1000" to prevent content from getting cut off. |
