Question

I’m rendering Google Maps markers with gmap3 jQuery plugin.
I’m triggering marker popups with clicks on menu links based on marker ID, which I can set with this plugin.

Marker gets ID (beside lat/long and popup text) with this code:

{latLng:[46.055221,14.504265], data:"some text", id:"map-1"}

Marker popup is triggered with this jQuery code:

$('#maptrigger-1').live('click',function(){
    var marker = $('#googlemap').gmap3({ get: { id: 'map-1' } });
    google.maps.event.trigger(marker, 'click'); 
});

and this HTML code:

<a href="#" id="maptrigger-1">click</a>

I don’t want to repeat jQuery code for every marker/ID (map-1/maptrigger-1, map2/maptrigger2, map3/maptrigger3), but I wasn’t successful so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Use the attribute starts with selector

$('[id^="maptrigger"]').live('click',function(){

And better to attach the events using .on() as .live() has been deprecated as of jQuery 1.7.0

$('[id^="maptrigger"]').on('click',function(){
