Adding an onclick event to google.map marker

I'm stuck trying to figure out a little bit of JS :( I have a google map

var myCenter=new google.maps.LatLng(53, -1.33);

function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
    center:myCenter,
    zoom: 14,
    draggable: false,
    scrollwheel: false,
    mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),mapProp);

var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
    position:myCenter,
    icon:'images/pin.png',
    url: 'http://www.google.com/',
    animation:google.maps.Animation.DROP
});
marker.setMap(map);
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

But I can't seem to hook up the onclick event for the marker url?

I know it has something to do with adding

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {window.location.href = marker.url;});

But where ever I put it causes the map to not display or the marker to not display.

Solution

Make sure the marker is defined outside of initialize(). Otherwise, it will be undefined if you attempt to assign the click listener outside of initialize().

Also, you may have SAME-ORIGIN issues if you attempt to load url www.google.com, but it should work fine with a local url.

Updated code

var myCenter=new google.maps.LatLng(53, -1.33);

var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
    position:myCenter,
    url: '/',
    animation:google.maps.Animation.DROP
});

function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
    center:myCenter,
    zoom: 14,
    draggable: false,
    scrollwheel: false,
    mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),mapProp);

marker.setMap(map);
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {window.location.href = marker.url;});
