I tried these functions:
function setKeys() { var event = {srcElement: mapContainer, target: mapContainer, nodeType: 1}; google.maps.event.trigger(document, "click", event); }function noKeys() { var event = {srcElement: body, target: body, nodeType: 1}; google.maps.event.trigger(document, "click", event); } There is a surprisingly small amount of information on the web about v3 implementation of your code. I was able to use the trigger to activate the click event of a marker but not the map in general. Maybe the syntax is different in v3. Would the v3 implementation use the same syntax? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
