I have a Google Maps (API 3) running a custom KML (geoxml3) with polygons containing titles and descriptions.
It all works fine, however I need to change the polygon click which reveals the infowindow to work on hover instead. It is easy enough to create a mouseover listener which runs the click function, however I need the click to run another function, so the click function would get overwritten using this method.
How can I find/copy the code that runs for the polygon click function and apply it to onmouseover
instead? Is this possible?
Update: I found this section in the geoxmlv3.js
file:
google.maps.event.addListener(gObj, 'click', function (e) {
var iW = this.infoWindow;
iW.close();
iW.setOptions(this.infoWindowOptions);
if (e && e.latLng) iW.setPosition(e.latLng);
else if (this.bounds) iW.setPosition(this.bounds.getCenter());
iW.setContent("<div id='geoxml3_infowindow'>" + iW.getContent() + "</div>");
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(iW, "domready", function () {
var node = document.getElementById('geoxml3_infowindow');
var imgArray = node.getElementsByTagName('img');
for (var i = 0; i < imgArray.length; i++) {
var imgUrlIE = imgArray[i].getAttribute("src");
var imgUrl = cleanURL(doc.baseDir, imgUrlIE);
if (kmzMetaData[imgUrl]) {
imgArray[i].src = kmzMetaData[imgUrl].dataUrl;
} else if (kmzMetaData[imgUrlIE]) {
imgArray[i].src = kmzMetaData[imgUrlIE].dataUrl;
}
}
});
iW.open(this.map, this.bounds ? null : this);
});
I have tried changing the 'click' event to 'mouseover
' but that causes no mouseover
or click to work
Here's the solution (after much trial and error!)
google.maps.event.addListener(poly,"mouseover",function(e) {
var iW = this.infoWindow;
iW.close();
iW.setOptions(this.infoWindowOptions);
if (e && e.latLng) iW.setPosition(e.latLng);
else if (this.bounds) iW.setPosition(this.bounds.getCenter());
iW.setContent("<div id='geoxml3_infowindow'>"+iW.getContent()+"</div>");
iW.open(this.map, this.bounds ? null : this);
});
Then just change your click function to something else. Remember to also set your mouseout function to close the infowindow too
