Open the Google Maps info window by clicking on an external map

Question

I understand how addListener works inside the map itself, but how can I get an info window to open when I click an item outside the map? For example, div with id #test?

Answer 1

Attach an event listener to the element you are clicking on. For instance. with jQuery :

$("#test").click(function(){
   yourInfoWindow.open(yourMap);
});

You need links to the info window you want to open and to the Google Map object. See the API link and examples .
