How to trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps V3?

javascript google-maps google-maps-api-3

How do I trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps from outside the map?

I use version 3 of the API. I've seen many tutorials for version 2, but can't find this for version 3.

I have a global array (named markers) containing all the marker of the map (google.maps.Marker). Now I want do do something like:

markers[i].click(); //I know it's not working, but you get the idea...

//Next line seems to be the way in v2, but what's the equivalent in v3?
GEvent.trigger(markers[i], 'click');

Thanks for your help and if you need more info, let me know!

I've found out the solution! Thanks to Firebug ;)

//"markers" is an array that I declared which contains all the marker of the map
//"i" is the index of the marker in the array that I want to trigger the OnClick event

//V2 version is:
GEvent.trigger(markers[i], 'click');

//V3 version is:
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[i], 'click');

click is firing, but in my case info windows is not adjusting to the map, it cut down slightly.

@Saboor Awan Try to ask a specific question about this as comments are not the best way to sort this out.

Doing this for v3 gives me TypeError: a is undefined in main.js (line 16, col 894) What would be the reason for that?

@invot Can't really help without seeing code, but I found someone with the same problem while doing a quick search... Try to set the "popupMapIn" width and height in CSS using pixels (px) and not percents (%).

This solution does not work in clustered markers (one of the group markers) situation. Please share suggestion if you have. Thanks.

For future Googlers, If you get an error similar below after you trigger click for a polygon

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'vertex' of undefined"

then try the code below

google.maps.event.trigger(polygon, "click", {});

You saved my night. I was struggling for 3 hours on this! Thank you!!
