Step-by-Step Guide to Embedding a Baidu Map with an Inline Frame
This tutorial walks you through creating a Baidu map, configuring its center and markers, obtaining the embed code, inserting it into an HTML file, applying your API key, and publishing the final page, all with clear visual instructions.
1. Insert an inline frame (iframe) into your page, set its scrollbars to never display, hide the border, and use a preview image that represents the map.
Create the map using the Baidu Map generator. Specify the central point by entering the city and location.
Adjust map settings as needed (zoom level, map type, etc.).
Add markers to highlight specific locations on the map.
Obtain the embed code from the generator and copy it.
Create a new file named baidumap.html on your desktop and paste the copied code into it.
Register as a developer on the Baidu Map Open Platform, activate your account via email, and obtain an API key (AK).
Replace the placeholder after ak= in baidumap.html with your actual key.
Double‑click the inline‑frame link to open baidumap.html and verify the map displays correctly.
Publish the project: generate the final HTML files, move baidumap.html into the generated HTML folder, and open start.html to see the integrated map.
Following these steps results in a fully functional Baidu map embedded via an iframe, ready for inclusion in any web page.
