The global infowindow is exactly what I did. So in the JS library I'm
using I have:
var infowindow; // the (only) infowindow
in my "loadMap" function I have:
// make the (only) infowindow object, add event on map: close the
infowindow
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(
map,
'click',
function(){
infowindow.close();
}
);
The "google.maps.event.addListener" is to allow the user to close the
infowindow by clicking anywhere on the background.
Then when I set a marker, I have the following:
google.maps.event.addListener(
marker,
'click',
function(){
infowindow.close();
infowindow.setContent("<b>whatever HTML to show for this
marker<b>");
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
);
Seems to work (for example):
