Multiple infowindows - tearing my hair out
- by thewinchester
Ok, I'll admit I'm nowhere near the best programmer on the planet -
and I'm used to the answer staring me right in the face but not making
sense of it.
Problem
I need to display multiple markers on a map, each with their own
infowindow. I have created the individual markers without a problem,
but don't know how to create the infowindows for each.
Steps so far
I am generating a map using the V3 API within an ASP-based website,
with markers being created from a set of DB records. The markers are
created by looping through a rs and defining a marker() with the
relevant variables:
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,long);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: myLatlng,
title: 'locationname',
icon: 'http://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/park.png'
});
This is creating all the relevant markers in their correct locations.
What I need to do now, and am not sure of how to achieve is give each
of them their own unique infowindow which I can use to display
information and links relevant to that marker.
