Open InfoWindow for each polygon google maps V3 - google-maps-api-3

Question

Hope someone can help me with this issue.
I'm trying to open an info windows on click for each polygon that my users created.
I used the same code for a marker and works well but i couldn't make it work for each polygon.
Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
var contentString = '<div id="content">'+
'<div id="siteNotice">'+
'</div>'+
'<h2>Test</h2>'+
'</div>';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString
});
// Show Areas
<?php foreach ($field->result() as $f):?>
// Create an array with the coordanates of each area
var field<?=$f->id?>Coords = [
<?php $latlng=$this->resources_data->field_latlng($f->id);?>
<?php foreach ($latlng->result() as $point):?>
new google.maps.LatLng(<?=$point->lat?>, <?=$point->lng?>),
<?php endforeach;?>
];
// Create a polygon with the points of the area
var area<?=$f->id?>=new google.maps.Polygon({
paths: area<?=$f->id?>Coords,
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: '#FF0000',
fillOpacity: 0.35
});
// Add the area to the map.
area<?=$f->id?>.setMap(map);
google.maps.event.addListener(area<?=$f->id?>,'click',function(){
infowindow.open(map,area<?=$f->id?>)
});
<?php endforeach;?>

Answer 1

You can't use the same form of InfoWindow.open for a polygon as you use for a marker (there is no marker to pass in).
From the documentation
open(map?:Map|StreetViewPanorama, anchor?:MVCObject)
Return Value: None
Opens this InfoWindow on the given map. Optionally, an InfoWindow can be associated with an anchor. In the core API, the only anchor is the Marker class. However, an anchor can be any MVCObject that exposes a LatLng position property and optionally a Point anchorPoint property for calculating the pixelOffset (see InfoWindowOptions). The anchorPoint is the offset from the anchor's position to the tip of the InfoWindow.)
You need to specifically set the place you want it to open when you call the open method (the latlng of the click is usually a good choice) with InfoWindow.setPosition().
Example
code snippet:
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
size: new google.maps.Size(150, 50)
});
function initialize() {
var geolib = google.maps.geometry.spherical;

myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
});

var polygon1 = new google.maps.Polygon({
