Come to think of it I implemented in a different context where the mouseover and mouseout where handy (the method still works) I don't know if any of the infowindow > > replacement extensions provide mouseover and mouseout events, but mine > > certainly don't. > > I had a look at ExtInfoWindow and some other extensions; none seems to > have mouseout, mouseover exposed. The point of extensions for me is only rarely using them the way they come its having a code base that is editable Adding them to the infobox object in > ExtInfoWindow caused multiple mouseout, mouseover event calls every > time the mouse is moved between divs making up the info box. That is what the delay based close takes care of if you get a mouseout then very shortly a mouseover the mouseout never gets acted on... ie it stays open. like you want....

The delay really can take care of some of that assuming you give it enough delay for the user to get the mouse from the marker in to the window A mouse over opens the window AND cancels the delaidClosing > > @Garthan - can I look at your code somewhere? Sorry It looks like I didnt use the technique in google maps but rather a rather old custom web map client... been doing this kind of thing too long ;-) . I might hunt it up and dig around in it if I cant remember details but I have a project that will be taking my time up till atleast monday > > The longer I think about it the more it sounds like a lot of hard work > - too bad that it's a hard requirement. > > Regards, Markus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
