I just want to load the Google Maps based on the Mouseover event of different div element. For doing this I just used the following simple code. This code itself not working, can someone tell me what mistake I have made?
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.740, -74.18),
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var content = '<strong>A info window!</strong><br/>That is bound to a marker';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: content
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: map.getCenter(),
draggable: true
});
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener($("#showmap"), 'mouseover', function(){ alert("Hi");});
</script>
<div id='showmap'>
Show Map
</div>
<div id="map-canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 400px"></div>
Above simple alert function itself not called for this simple code.
