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.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
