Question

I am working on a website with google maps integrated.
http://www.ecompanies.nl/pilot/webdesign/breda.html

Infowindows can be opened by clicking on a map marker, or on a header link in the items listed on the right. How can I close the active infowindow before opening a new one (by clicking on a map marker, or on a header link)?

Thanks in advance.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

You are creating a new infowindow for each marker. The best way to achieve what you want is to create one infowindow and share that between all the markers.

So:

1. Put the infowindow creation before the loop.
2. When you create the click event listener for the marker in the loop add infowindow.setContent('content'); before you open the marker.

this will automatically close the infowindow and open it over the new marker
