I’ve updated your gMap.select here, it’s working and hope this is what you want.

select: function (buttonId){
    gMap.buttons.$line.className="unselected";
    gMap.buttons.$placemark.className="unselected";
    document.getElementById(buttonId).className="selected";
    var divs=window.parent.frames[0].document.getElementsByTagName('div');
    for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++)
    {
        if(divs[i].id.charAt(0)=="c") divs[i].className="unselected";
    }
    var btn='c_'+buttonId;
    window.parent.frames[0].document.getElementById(btn).className="selected";
}

Update : Here is the updated fiddle. Hope you want this.

This is another example of how you can add custom control and it’s event handler in Google map (Using Javascript)

var map;
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'));
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(48.77565,9.181802));
map.setZoom(12);
map.setMapTypeId( google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP );

var controlDiv = document.createElement('div');
var table=document.createElement('TABLE');
var tbdy=document.createElement('TBODY');
var tr=document.createElement('TR');

var btn1=document.createElement('input');
btn1.setAttribute("type", "button");
btn1.id="c_placemark_b";
btn1.setAttribute("value", "Button One");
var td1=document.createElement('TD');
td1.appendChild(btn1);

var btn2=document.createElement('input');
btn2.setAttribute("type", "button");
btn2.id="c_line_b";
btn2.setAttribute("value", "Button Two");
var td2=document.createElement('TD');
td2.appendChild(btn2);

tr.appendChild(td1);
tr.appendChild(td2);
tbdy.appendChild(tr);
table.appendChild(tbdy);
controlDiv.appendChild(table);

google.maps.event.addDomListener(btn1, 'click', function() {
    //DoSomething
    alert(this.id);
});

google.maps.event.addDomListener(btn2, 'click', function() {
    //DoSomething
    alert(this.id);
});

controlDiv.index = 1;
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_RIGHT].push(controlDiv);
}
