google.maps.MarkerOptions title special characters

[Gemma Pumpr]

Hi folks

I have a map that has a lot of places mentioned that have html encoded characters in, such as ô etc. While the infowindow displays them correctly, the marker title displays them as the actual html code. Is there a function I need to call?

Many thanks in advance.

I'm betting you need to place the unencoded characters in the title
properties. They are probably being double encoded.

There are properties for the title? Could you point me in the correct direction please?

Did you check the documentation?

'title' option of Marker constructor creates 'title' attribute to the
marker html element. So the rules for Marker 'title' are equal to html
'title' rules.

Basicly you cannot use html entities like &ocirc; or any html tags in
title. If you have utf-8 character set on your page and in your code
editor, and you can find the special character on your keyboard, you
can use it with no trouble.
