I have map with multiple different colors markers with some info window. Everything works

  • 0

I have map with multiple different colors markers with some info window. Everything works OK except when I click on some marker (I have 5 of them on example) it switches my cursor on, let’s say, the 4-th marker and displays info window always from that marker. So it displays always the same info window.
It is small html file, so I would appreciate if someone knows the solution for this.
I tried also and with google.maps.event.addDomListener because I suppose that there is the problem but it is the same behaviour.

    Just change your code to this so that it gets the correct url for each element.

    <a href="' + html;

    to

    <a href="' +markers[i].getAttribute("html");

    so the full code to your question is:

    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) { return function(){ var alarmanchor1='<span class="url"><a href="' +markers[i].getAttribute("html"); var alarmanchor2='" title="www" target="_blank">Event List</a></span>'; var contentString=alarmanchor1+alarmanchor2; infowindow.setContent(contentString); infowindow.open(map, marker); } }) (marker, i));
