As Ross indicated, you need to create the "videoContainer" in the
HTML, not in your script.
Additionally, the snippet I posted might make it work for the first
infowindow only. Cloning the node might be better, if it works at all:
GEvent.addListener(marker,'click'function(){
var vContainer = document.getElementById('videoContainer');
var clone = vContainer.cloneNode(true);
clone.style.display = '';
marker.openInfoWindow(clone);
// Note openInfoWindow(), and not openInfoWindowHtml()
})
If cloning doesn't work, then you'll need to stay with .removeChild()
and .addChild(), but if you want to use video in more than one
infoWindow then you'll need to remove the video container manually
before the infoWindow is closed and its contents destroyed.
