Detect Click Of State

[matterzmore]

Greetings All!

I could not find an answer to this question in the API documentation, so I will ask here:

Is it possible to detect the click of an individual state from the map? I would like to hook this event to fire a Javascript function, but I'm not sure how to do this.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,
Matterezmore

There are at least 2 ways to do it:

A. One polygon for each state with a click event handler, and keep
track of which polygon fired the event by passing some ID to the event
handler function.

B. AJAX call to the server and a database lookup.
This is a V2 example with counties instead of states:

Click anywhere in the US.

An example using fusion tables (a world map with clickable countries):

Example using KmlLayer (world map):

You could do the same with the US.
