Sidebar help for Google Maps API V3 - google-maps-api-3

I need help to create a sidebar. I have it partially working, but there are 2 problems to solve. First, the sidebar only shows the last marker information. I may not have placed some of the sidebar coding in its proper place. Second, (which may be part of the first problem), all the icons appear when using Firefox, but when using IE8 all the icons except the last icon appears. To view the map and code, first go to http://www.askdata.net/propmap/mapdata.php and do the demo (paste addresses into text area), then the map page will be displayed. Thanks again. The code also follows:

IE doesn't like trailing commas at the end of a structure, e.g. the comma after the icon here:
Comp5: {
icon: 'http://askdata.net/compmap/mapicons/c5.png',
}
You're mixing Google Maps API 2 and 3 code. e.g. you declare latlng objects using API 3:
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.95, -87.65)
but then you use API 2 here:
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(41, -87), 4);

Here is your problem: sidebar.innerHTML = '';
Since it is within the loop, every time it loops, it deletes the prior side bar entry.
Place it fight after function load() { -Outside the loop AND within Load().
Use document.getElementById('sidebar').innerHTML = '';
Also, you have to do something about your customIcons
You can change them to something like this
Subject: { icon: 'http://askdata.net/compmap/mapicons/sub.png' }
And you are done!
EXAMPLE
function load() {
document.getElementById('sidebar').innerHTML = '';
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
//rest of the code goes here
Also, it might be a good idea to replace this code with CSS:
div.style.cursor = 'pointer';
div.style.marginBottom = '5px';
google.maps.event.addDomListener(div, 'mouseover', function() {
div.style.backgroundColor = '#eee';
});
google.maps.event.addDomListener(div, 'mouseout', function() {
div.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';
});
CSS option:
#sidebar {
background-color: white;
}
#sidebar div {
cursor: pointer;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
#sidebar div:hover {
background-color: #eee;
}

Utilizing geoxml3 to display KML labels

I'm using the latest release of geoxml3 downloaded from Google Code Project. I can see the KML file placemarks on my map. The problem is I would like to display the labels as well. In my KML file I have Style id and StyleMap id assigned.
I have searched this site for gemoxml3 label and was pointed to this post label a kml file in Google Maps API v3. The problem is the wiki for the code project points to Google Markers which doesn't mention how to display the label either.
I have also searched the geocodezip website and didn't find anything on their either. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

One option would be to create a custom createMarker function which uses InfoBox to display a label over the marker:
function createMarker(placemark, doc) {
// create a Marker to the map from a placemark KML object
// Load basic marker properties
var markerOptions = {
map: map,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(placemark.Point.coordinates[0].lat, placemark.Point.coordinates[0].lng),
title: placemark.name,
zIndex: Math.round(placemark.Point.coordinates[0].lat * -100000)<<5,
icon: placemark.style.icon,
shadow: placemark.style.shadow
};
// Create the marker on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);
// add label
var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 8px; background: white; padding: 5px;";
boxText.innerHTML = placemark.name;
var myOptions = {
content: boxText
,disableAutoPan: false
,maxWidth: 0
,pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-40, -60)
,zIndex: null
,boxStyle: {
textAlign: "center"
,fontSize: "8pt"
,width: "80px"
}
,closeBoxURL: ""
,infoBoxClearance: new google.maps.Size(1, 1)
,isHidden: false
,pane: "floatPane"
,enableEventPropagation: false
};
var ib = new InfoBox(myOptions);
ib.open(map, marker);
// Set up and create the infowindow
var infoWindowOptions = {
content: '<div class="geoxml3_infowindow"><h3>' + placemark.name +
'</h3><div>' + placemark.description + '</div>'+
'<input type="button" onclick="displayInfo(\''+placemark.name+'\',\''+placemark.description+'\');" value="populate div"></input>',
pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(0, 2)
};
infowindow.setOptions(infoWindowOptions);
marker.infoWindowOptions = infoWindowOptions;
marker.infoWindow = infowindow;
// Infowindow-opening event handler
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
this.infoWindow.close();
marker.infoWindow.setOptions(this.infoWindowOptions);
this.infoWindow.open(this.map, this);
});
placemark.marker = marker;
return marker;
}
Use it in geoxml3 like this:
geo = new geoXML3.parser({
map: map,
zoom: true,
singleInfoWindow: true,
infoWindow: infowindow,
createMarker: createMarker
});
geo.parse(document.getElementById('kmlFile').value);

make markers bounce from a list on google maps

I have a list of places in a text box in Google maps. When a person clicks on one of the places in the text box, I want the corresponding marker of that location in Google Maps to bounce. Any ideas on how I can make this work? Right now I am only able to make the marker bounce when I click on the marker itself.
Here is my code:
var Points = [ {

Thanks for your help,

One of the ways to do it is to use Knockout.js data-binding. In particular, you can use foreach binding to display all your items as a list and apply functions to each of them. Then use click binding to execute functions attached to list items when a user clicks on it. An example of how to use it for list view of places in Google Maps with search function:
HTML:
<h4>Places</h4>
<input type="text" id="my-Input" data-bind="textInput: filter" placeholder="Search for places..">
<div class="scroll" id="my-UL">
<ul data-bind="foreach: visiblePlaces">
<li>
<input data-bind="value: title, click: $parent.zoomToPlace, text: address" type="button" class="btn btn-small btn-link" id="zoomTo">
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JS:
/ ViewModel - provides list view of places, on click zooms map, shows the marker, infowindow, etc.
function viewModel() {
var self = this;
self.places = ko.observableArray(locations);
self.address = ko.observable();
self.title = ko.observable();
self.id = ko.observable();
this.filter = ko.observable();
this.visiblePlaces = ko.computed(function() {
return this.places().filter(function(place) {
if (!self.filter() || place.title.toLowerCase().indexOf(self.filter().toLowerCase()) !== -1)
return place;
});
}, this);
//Zooms to a selected marker and open infowindow
self.zoomToPlace = function() {
// Initialize the geocoder.
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
// Get the place.
var address = this.address;
var id = this.id;
// Geocode the address/area entered to get the center. Then, center the map on it and zoom in
geocoder.geocode({
address: address,
}, function(results, status) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
map.setZoom(15);
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[id], 'click');
});
};
}
var vm = new viewModel();
ko.applyBindings(vm);
This will produce a list of places from an array (styles and array aren't shown in the code) and the corresponding marker will open an infowindow and bounce.
For full code, you can look it in my repo: https://github.com/DmitryGrechko/Neighborhood_Map

Fusion Table Icon

I have two columns in my fusion table, both store the names of icons. One of the tables is the default icons.
I'm wondering if there is a way to toggle between the two columns to change icons in JavaScript?
Cheers
set up two maps in the FusionTables UI with the appropriate columns defining the icons (Fusion Tables Help article describing how to do that)
"publish" the map, get HTML and Javascript, that will contain the values to use for styleId and template for each configuration.
call .setOptions on the FusionTablesLayer to change between them

Problems getting description from KML for infowindow

Kinda of new to Google mashups. I have an KML on our Webserver (http://www.madisonareampo.org/maps/BRT_National.kmz) to draw on Google Maps.
I have a Google Maps mashup where I want an infowindow to display the contents of the KML description field through a click event. The KML file was exported from a geodatabase using ArcGIS.
Nothing is being returned when I click on a marker in the KML file.

InfoWindows needs a position attribute and you have to call open(map) to bind it to the map. Here's a working version of your code :
google.maps.event.addListener(layer, 'click', function(kmlEvent) {
showInContentWindow(kmlEvent.latLng, kmlEvent.featureData.description);
});
function showInContentWindow(position, text) {
var content = "<div style='margin-left:-20px;border:2px dotted #897823;'>" + text + "</div>";
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: content,
position: position
})
infowindow.open(map);
}

Google Maps API V3 Infobox plugin hide/show?

I'm using Google Maps API V3 plugin Infobox and I need some help. In the code a loop is creating several markers an infoboxes on the map, but I wonder how to hide the infoboxes from the beginning? I have tried to change the isHidden value, but not working. I also wonder how to hide previuosly infobox when click on a new marker to show a new infobox? Preciate some help! Thanks!

Remove the line:
ib.open(theMap, marker);
And the infobox should remain hidden until you click the marker.
