i dont know if google recently has made some changes in the external
gmap scripts, but nowadays there are some problems with loading the
thickbox-anchors "in-time" and so no overlay is shown. i tried a
thousand times - sometimes the overlay works, sometimes not... it's
crazy.
does anyone know a trick or a workaround how i can ensure thickbox
working within googlemaps?
I have no idea what "thickbox" is, but your infoWindows look fine on
FF2.
The API scripts change every week, but you can just lock it to a fixed
version number, like 2.123 and down, until you find one that works for
you.

it not the infoWindow that use thickbox, its the webcam-images (or
360° flash).
i detected the following: when i first click at least two textlinks
(below the gmap), then the images are shown within the thickbox-
overlay.
if i click directly on a marker to open a bubble (infoWindow) and then
click on image, the image only opens in a new webpage.
but thanks for the hint - i'll try if locking the gmap-script to 2.0
will work.

thanks for your reply. it seems, that version number has no effect on
working thickbox.
as i mentioned before: when i click first on a text link, then another
textlink (opens infoWindow) and then on an image it works fine. it
even works when i first click at least to markes without clicking on
an image...

I agree, but as the clickable area is much smaller than the visible
image, are you sure that when the infowindow doesn't open, the marker
has been clicked properly? By watching the cursor change to a
'finger' I can see when it is over the clickable area, I've been
unable to reproduce missing infowindow by doing that.
Can you describe your problem more clearly, does the infowindow open
at all, or is it just a missing image within it?

ross, thank you for your try. but my problem is not about the
infoWindow or the marker.
i try to explain as clear as possible.
do the following:
1) open website panorama.achensee.info
2) click on any marker or textlink - an infoWindow opens and shows
livecam-images (1 bigger, 4 smaller above the big one)
3a) now click on e.g. the big livecam image - the image is loaded
within a browserpage; no more googlemap, navigation, etc. THATs the
error - the image should load in a layer above the webpage (thickbox
functionality), googlemap, navigation, etc should remain.
next try the following:
clear chache, step 1, step 2, then
3b) leave InfoWindow open and click on a second marker or textlink.
Then click on e.g. the big livecam-image and - voilá - the livecam-
image should load in a layer above the webpage (thickbox
functionality).
if you don't know thickbox - click on jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ and
got to examples, single image, demo -> thats what i want and what
functions half by half...! opening a livecam image (or html page) from
a googlemaps infoWindow in a greybox.
that means: thickbox is workign correctly, googlemaps is working
correctly...

Locking to mapversion 2.122 solved the thickbox problem - IT WORKS now
again;
I hope Google develops future mapversions compatible with thickbox in
future... or maybe they integrate such a greybox-function within the
mapscripts?
Again, THANKS!
