Stop the info window from opening in Google Map on pageload

I believe that the latest version of Design Extender should automatically close info windows in Google Maps on page loads.

See the second forum post from Ray here:
showthread.php?t=25111&highlight=info+window

Live UR: here: maptest.php

I'm attaching my working files so you can inspect them.

In the post you reference ray was talking about closing the info windows when using links to change the active marker, not closing the info windows as a general rule.

The issue being discussed in that thread was that when using links to change the focus address, it would leave the initial info window open, and also open the new focused info window.

to close the info window on page load, find the following code:

// open info window for default address
  if (isDefault) {
	  infowindow.open(map1,marker);
	  map1.setCenter(point);
  }

and change it to:

// open info window for default address
  if (isDefault) {
	  //infowindow.open(map1,marker);
	  map1.setCenter(point);
  }

The map displays on the page as it should now, but it looks like it destroys most of my serverside code.

Before Google Map: detaljer.php?Id=2

After Google Map: detaljer_2.php?Id=2

Do you see any work around ? I also have DMXZone Calandar and WA Power Gallery on the same page, so there could be some clash of frameworks.

I'm attaching before and after file.

a few things i see in your page.

it looks like you are loading a jquery map plugin:
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/jquery.gmap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxCalendar2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/jqueryui/redmond/redmond.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

also at the top of your page, you have 2 head sections:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw0/menu.js"></script>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--
@import url("../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw0/menu.css");
-->
</style>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw0/menu_ie.css");
</style>

<![endif]-->
</head>


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Yes, you are correct.

<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/jquery.gmap.min.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
does not need to be there and I have removed them.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxCalendar2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/jqueryui/redmond/redmond.css" />
are used by the calendar and must stay.

It's only 1 head section on my page, but the left menu is inserted as a Framework builder plugin, so it looks like 2 when you view the source code in a browser,

Anyway, removing
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/jquery.gmap.min.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

did not help. Still the same problem with most of my serverside code.

I'm attaching an updated file.

Probmen solved by embeding the Google Map on another page and load the Google Map as an iFrame.
