Question

I am trying to add a marker when a location title is clicked. The title of the span contains the coordinates in the title format 43.61243.612631631, -116.21107599999999

When I run the following code it errors out. If I actually type the coordinates in it works though.

$('.showmapmarker').click(function(){
    var latlng=$(this).attr('title'); 
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(latlng),
    map: map
    });

});

I have searched all day, but maybe I need to convert latlng out of a string or something? Any help is sure appreciated. The rest of the map is standard v3 and works fine displaying markers, etc.

try to break it up. So split the string where the comma is at then put it in as (lat,long)

var latlngStr = $(this).attr('title'); 
var latlng= latlngStr.split(",");

new google.maps.LatLng(latlng[0], latlng[1])
