Hah! Interesting. In other words, if I add a colorrollovermarker
*over* a blackandwhitemarker, the colorrollovermarker takes control
of the mouse. Well, could I add a mouseout event to the
colorrollovermarker(s) to remove themselves?
I had thought that I'd need to add a click function to the
colorrollovermarker(s) in case the user clicked one. I hoped the event
would be to open the corresponding blackandwhitemarker's infowindow,
and then remove itself. But if setting the colorrollovermarker(s) to
be nonclickable is necessary, so much the better. Wouldn't that mean a
click would be transferred down through the colorrollovermarker to its
underlying blackandwhitemarker? So the blackandwhitemarker could open
its infowindow and close its colorrollovermarker, if the
colorrollovermarker was present.
All these things are worth a try. I've spent hours just trying to
write whatever code I need to enable the basic "adding the
corresponding marker" mouseover. A few more experimenting with what
might happen if it ever worked will be OK by me. There are hundreds of
posts about "bringing a marker to the front when rolled over." Has
this desirable action never been accomplished? I can't find a solution
anywhere.
So can you or some other kind soul tell me how to make a
blackandwhitemarker conjure up its corresponding colorrollovermarker?
Both arrays are identical --they are both built from the exact same
XML document-- except for their icons. The
function makeSidebar() {
var oldheader;
var html = "";
for (var i=0; i<blackandwhitemarkers.length; i++) {
if (!blackandwhitemarkers[i].isHidden()) {
var header = blackandwhitemarkers[i].myheader;
if (oldheader != header) html += "<b>" + header+ "</b><br>";
html += '<a href="javascript:myclick(' + i + ')"
onmouseover="map.addOverlay(colorrollovermarkers['+i+'])"
onmouseout="map.removeOverlay(colorrollovermarkers['+i+'])">' +
blackandwhitemarkers[i].myname + '<\/a><br>';
oldheader = header;
}
}
document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = html;
}
code works perfectly, so it's obviously possible to call the
colorrollovermarkers by a reference to some [i] variable corresponding
to that of their blackandwhitemarkers. I just can't figure out how to
write it for a single marker pair, to add it to the Listener. Let's
give it a whirl! Maybe we'll invent something nifty!
