You need to understand how the code you are writing works. The marker manager doesn't use the map variable until after it is initialized in the load function. You will need your marker manager to be global as it is used by the labelclick function which is called by an html onclick function and therefor runs in the global context. -- Larry > > On Feb 23, 11:16 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Feb 23, 11:13 am,jameslove<[email protected]> wrote: > > > > It doesn't work if I pull out the function since the function relies > > > on the map being defined which is in the load function.
