"Object doesn't support this property or method" error

[Nathon Jones]

For some reason, I'm now getting the following error on my maps page where it used to work:

Webpage error details

On the same page, I'm also getting the following error:

Here's a link to the offending page:

I'm using DW8.0.2, Win XP Pro, IE8 and Pro Maps for Google version 1.0.5.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

The error is occurring because you cometed out the following line:

// icon_0.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(8,3);


un-comment that line, and the error will go away.

Thanks Jason.

What if I don't want the WindowAnchor though? I really don't want the "speech bubble" thing on the map and was advised that I could comment that out.

How do I prevent that from displaying, without commenting out that line and without causing "error on page" errors?

Much appreciated.

comment the code that loads the info window.

To keep if from opening on initial load, do search for all occurance of:
marker_0_0.openInfoWindowHtml

It will be in a few places,Whether to comment it or not depends on the surrounding code. It will either look like:
if('address_0_0' == 'address_0_0')
marker_0_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_0.infowind owtext);




or:
GEvent.addListener(marker_0_0, 'click', function() {
marker_0_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_0.infowind owtext);
});


to make it not load the bubble on initial load, comment it if it looks like the first example:
//if('address_0_0' == 'address_0_0')
//marker_0_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_0.infowind owtext);

This will still allow the bubble to load if the marker is clicked. if you do not want that to happen as well, comment the second example too:
//GEvent.addListener(marker_0_0, 'click', function() {
//marker_0_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_0.infowind owtext);
//});

Perfect. Thank you Jason.

If I upgrade my version of Pro Maps for Google, will it overwrite my commented out lines?

[Jason Byrnes]

Only if you edit the map.
