How do I trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps from outside the map?
I use version 3 of the API. I've seen many tutorials for version 2, but can't find this for version 3.
I have a global array (named markers) containing all the marker of the map (google.maps.Marker). Now I want do do something like:
markers[i].click(); //I know it's not working, but you get the idea...
//Next line seems to be the way in v2, but what's the equivalent in v3?
GEvent.trigger(markers[i], 'click');
Thanks for your help and if you need more info, let me know!
This question is related to
javascript
google-maps
google-maps-api-3
I've found out the solution! Thanks to Firebug ;)
//"markers" is an array that I declared which contains all the marker of the map
//"i" is the index of the marker in the array that I want to trigger the OnClick event
//V2 version is:
GEvent.trigger(markers[i], 'click');
//V3 version is:
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[i], 'click');
For future Googlers, If you get an error similar below after you trigger click for a polygon
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'vertex' of undefined"
then try the code below
google.maps.event.trigger(polygon, "click", {});
