How do I make an infowindow automatically display as open with Google-Maps-for-Rails

Question

I want to display a map with the infowindow box automatically displayed for the single marker on the page, much like http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/ex

Answer 1

Your code is almost perfect. Except that instead of:

 infowindow.open(Gmaps.map, marker);

You should have:

 infowindow.open(Gmaps.map.map, marker);

Indeed, Gmaps.map is a container, Gmap.map.map is the google object.

I know these names are confusing. Sorry.

PS: be sure to put this code under the gmaps call in your view.
