Okay, nevermind, it's still not working:
$.get(searchURL, function(data) {
var markers =
data.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var latlng = new
google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
directionsService.route(request, function(response,
status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
var content = '<div style="overflow:hidden;
width:350px;height:
100px;">'+
'<strong>'+markers[i].getAttribute("name")+'</strong>'+
'<hr />'+
'<p><strong>'+markers[i].getAttribute("name")+'</strong>, is
<strong>'+markers[i].getAttribute("distance")+' miles</strong> from
your current location.<hr />'+
'total distance:
<strong>'+markers[i].getAttribute("distance")+'
mi</strong> | driving time:
<strong>'+response.routes[0].legs[0].duration.text+'</strong>'+
'</p>'+
'</div>';
addMarkerAndInfoWindow(latlng','mouseover',content,true);
});
}
....
i'm getting 'can't call method getAttribute on undefined' now. But
markers is defined, and it works fine without this directions call.
