Should be simple... markers not appearing.

[Jo]

So I have a map that appears... And I'm trying to add an even listener that will create a marker when the user clicks a spot on the map. here's my js code for initializing my map and adding a marker...
I know that the code reaches the creation of the marker... just nothing happens! Help please!

bn.Curiosity.initialize = function () {

    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(54.397, -106.644);

    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {

        zoom: 4,

        center: myLatlng,

        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP

    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (event) {

        

        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

            

            position: event.latlng,

            map: map,

            visible: true,

            clickable: false,

            title: 'hello world'

        });

        map.setCenter(location);

    });

}

Hi

The most obvious thing I can see is that "location" is not set. It should be a latlong object.

the location is set, but you need a array to store the marker

try something like this:
var markers = [];
bn.Curiosity.initialize = function () {
[code]

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (event) {

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: event.latlng,
map: map,
visible: true,
clickable: false,
title: 'hello world'
});

markers.push(marker);
map.setCenter(location);

});

this should do the trick

I'm not sure what difference that would make??

Me, I'm wondering if 'map' is in scope at the time of the click event,
I think not.

Oh, if only we could see the webpage so we could debug in context
instead of guessing.

That's what occurred to me, too. There may be a variable called "map"
in scope. However, it won't be the variable holding the map.

Quite. Despite the posting guidelines in a sticky post, I've lost
count of the number of times this comment is made. (NB: "See the
webpage" doesn't mean "see a code listing")

You don't need an array to store the marker unless you are going to
use it for something.

I would suggest the original poster check for javascript errors and
fix them. I don't see anything obvious, but as they didn't provide a
link (as requested in the posting guidelines) I can't tell what is
going on.
