How to "simulate” a click on a Google Maps Marker?

Image
By User



What I'd like to do is to invoke the click handler on a marker. So this is my code :







var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

    position: location,

    map: map,

    title: title

});    



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

    alert("clicked");

});        



marker.click();







but I cannot see any alert...

    It's possible to trigger any Maps API event listener on any object using the google.maps.event.trigger function.

    You'll probably want to pass in a mock MouseEvent object, depending on what your event listener(s) do with it.

    Example:

    google.maps.event.trigger(marker, 'click', {
    latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0)
    });

    Store the click listener in a variable and just call it when you need to simulate a click.

    var click = function () { alert('clicked'); };
    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', click);

    click();


    You should be fine as long as you keep a reference to the function.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

By User
The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.
