Question

I have a google map which I am getting json data from. I want to automatically build a string that I can pass to the marker object. I get an error “invalid object initializer” in firebug when I do this. Does this make sense or is their a better way to handle this.

function buildMarkers(json) {

    $.each(json, function(z) {     
        var asdf;
        $.each(this, function(key,valueObj){
            //console.log(key + '---' + valueObj);
            asdf += key + ': ' + valueObj + ', ';
        });


        markers[z] = new google.maps.Marker({
                map: map, 
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(this.school_lat,this.school_long),
                asdf
        });

etc....

try building your json object like this:

var asdf = [];
$.each(this, function(key, valueObj) {
    asdf.push({key: key, value: valueObj});
});
