How can I make Google Maps icon to always appear in the center of map - when clicked?
- by JHM_67
For simplicity sake, lets use the XML example on Econym's site.
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_map3.htm
Once clicked, I would like icon balloon to be displayed in the middle of the map.
What might I need to add to Mike's code to get this to work? I apologize for asking a lot..
Thanks in advance.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
side_bar
var side_bar_html = "";
var gmarkers = [];
function createMarker(point,name,html) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
gmarkers.push(marker);
side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript:myclick(' + (gmarkers.length-1) + ')">' + name + '<\/a><br>';
return marker;
}
function myclick(i) {
GEvent.trigger(gmarkers[i], "click");
}
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 43.907787,-79.359741), 9);
GDownloadUrl("example.xml", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var point = new GLatLng(lat,lng);
var html = markers[i].getAttribute("html");
var label = markers[i].getAttribute("label");
var marker = createMarker(point,label,html);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html;
});
}
else {
alert("Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser");
}
