Object Created but not Consumed?

[A. Shore]

Folks, in the snippet below, object marker_obj is created but with no
further reference that I see.

But beachMarker icon doesn't display unless marker_obj is indeed
defined.

Can someone explain the (apparently) invisible reference?


function init() { // Called on the intiial page load.
var map_obj = new
google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), {
zoom: 14,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.44, -122.14),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});

var marker_obj = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(37.43, -122.13),
map: map_obj
});

var image_file = 'http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/
examples/images/beachflag.png';
var beachMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(37.45, -122.15),
map: map_obj,
icon: image_file
});
} // end function init()

Can you post the URLs of two versions of your map page, one working and one showing the problem? Or at least a URL for the broken page?

The link to the image file doesn't work. If I put a good link in, then it works fine for me with or without the code for the first marker.

Thanks, but there is no "problem", and therefore nothing to show.

My question is how defining 'marker_obj' in the noted snippet worked,
since it played no visible - to me, anyway - role in the init()
function
