Closing any open info windows in google maps api v3

Question

As the title states, on a given event (for me this happens to be upon opening a new google.maps.InfoWindow I want to be able to close any other currently open info

Answer 1

infowindow is local variable and window is not available at time of close()

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644); var infowindow
 = null;

 ...

 google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
     if (infowindow) {
         infowindow.close();
     }
     infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
     ... });
