gMaps v3 - Have InfoWindow visible on map load

[bcbounders]

OK... so I feel really stupid.  All I want is to have the Google Map load with the InfoWindow for the one and only marker on the map to show right when the map loads.

I've searched the forum... and there are lots of questions/answers about how to trigger the display of the InfoWindow from all sorts of other objects (other link on the page, a button, AJAX call, etc)... but none that address how to have the map initially load with the InfoWindow displaying.

Help!

Thanks,

Does that marker have an infowindow that opens when the user clicks on
it?

If so, use google.maps.event.trigger to activate the click listener at
the very end of your initialization.

Larry,

Yes... the marker has the default, click-to-open-the-infoWindow functionality.  Is there anything special that needs to be added to/edited on that "google.maps.event.trigger" line?  Or does that just trigger all associated "events" for the map?

Thanks for your help!

The syntax is described in the documentation:

Thanks, Marcelo.  I'm checking it out now.
