Hi I am trying to make a google map with markers with places from a database. When you do a 'maouseover' opens an info window. Everything works fine except tha i have a side bar with a list of divs of the places which i display on the map, and i want when click each of the links to open the InfoWindow of that place...but the showInfo function doesn't fire up!!!

The complete code of the page is below Help Please!

C#
entityPoints = objSytem.GetEntityPoints();
String markerPoints = "";
String infoWindowContent = "";
int i = 0;
int k;
if (entityPoints.Rows.Count > 0)
{
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " markersDescription=new Array();";
    foreach (DataRow r in entityPoints.Rows)
    {
        i++;
        latitude = r["latitude"].ToString().Replace(",", ".");
        longtitude = r["longtitude"].ToString().Replace(",", ".");
        description = r["description"].ToString();
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "   markersDescription[" + i +"] = '" + description + "';";
        infoWindowContent = "<div><img src=/Graphics/Buttons/a" + i + ".gif /></div>";
        //infoWindowContent += "<div style=" + "margin-top:10px;" + ">" + description + "</div>";
        infoWindowContent += "<div style=" + "margin-top:10px;" + "><a href=" + "/en/Destinations/Destination.aspx?destinationID=" + i + ">" + description + "</div>";
        // create a line of JavaScript for marker on map for this record
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "var position_" + i + " = new google.maps.LatLng(" + latitude + "," + longtitude + "); ";
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "var marker_" + i + " = new google.maps.Marker({position : position_" + i + ", title : '" + description + "', icon :'http://visit/Graphics/GoogleMarkers/blue.png'}); marker_" + i + ".setMap(map); ";
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "var infoWindow_" + i + " = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: '" + infoWindowContent + "', size: new google.maps.Size(50,50)}); ";
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " google.maps.event.addListener(marker_" + i + ", 'mouseover', function() {infoWindow_" + i + ".open(map, marker_" + i + "); marker_" + i + ".setIcon('http://visit/Graphics/GoogleMarkers/yellow.png');  if (previousInfoWindow!=infoWindow_" + i + "){ previousInfoWindow.close();} });";
        markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " google.maps.event.addListener(marker_" + i + ", 'mouseout', function() {marker_" + i + ".setIcon('http://visit/Graphics/GoogleMarkers/blue.png');  previousInfoWindow = infoWindow_" + i + "; });";
    }
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " var markerCounter=" + i + ";";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " var j;";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " function showInfo()";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " {";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "  var k=showInfo.arguments[0];";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "  var k=showInfo.arguments[0];";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "infoWindow_" + i + ".open(map, marker_" + i + ");
    //markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "  google.maps.event.trigger(k, 'click');";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "  alert(k);";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " }";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " for (j=1; j<=markerCounter; j++)";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " {";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "   html_side_bar += '<div id=div_' + j + '><a href=javascript:showInfo('+j+')>' + markersDescription[j] + '</a></div>';";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " }";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " var objDiv = document.getElementById('side_bar')";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " objDiv.innerHTML = html_side_bar;";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " alert(objDiv.innerHTML);";
    markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + " showInfo('value='+3);";
}
string myScript = @"<script type='text/javascript'>
       function initialize()
                           {
                            var i;
                            var html_side_bar='';

                            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), myOptions);
                            " + markerPoints + @"
                            map.setUIToDefault();
                           }
                </script>";

Try this

markerPoints += Environment.NewLine + "   html_side_bar += '<div id=div_' + j + '><a href=\'javascript:showInfo('+j+')\'>' + markersDescription[j] + '</a></div>';";


Simply enclose the href's value in quotes.

Take care of escaping the quotes as well.
