Question

I am trying to assign an array to a marker in the javascript function below. It does not work with push, or with the commented out statement either. I am not sure if a map marker is allowed to have an array. The marker.mycategory works fine, it is only the array that doesn’t work.

function createMarker(latlng, name, html, category, animals) 
  {

      var markerImg = setMarker(category);

      var contentString = html;

      var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
          position: latlng,
          map: map,
          title: name,
          icon: markerImg,
          });

      for (var i = 0; i < animals.length; i++)
          marker.myanimals.push(animals[i]); 
          //marker.myanimals[i] = animals[i];

      marker.mycategory = category;                                 
      marker.myname = name;

      gmarkers.push(marker);

      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
          infowindow.setContent(contentString); 
          infowindow.open(map,marker);
          });

  } // end createMarker()

Thanks for any help on this.

Answer 1

add a marker.myanimals = []; before your for loop, than it should work
