[SOLVED] Results of live search

[robbb99]

Hi there,

 

I have a working 'live search' function on my website which uses Google Maps API, please take a quick look (robmaps.co.uk/Floor_plans/Chadwick/index1.html). Currently, after typing something in the search box and clicking on the link, a new web page opens. However, i would like the Google 'infowindows' to open, just like they do with my 'selection box' option using the GEvent.trigger markers function.

 

For the live search to work, I used this excellent tutorial which shows the relevant HTML, PHP and Javascript code needed: w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_livesearch.asp?output=print.

 

Part of the PHP is:

    $hint="<a href='" . 
    $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . 
    "' target='_blank'>" 

 

The $z represents a field called 'type' in my database which relates to the floor plan room numbers and obviously I need to replace the <a href "" target=blank> with an event that will open the infowindow in the same page. I can't seem to get my head around the solution to this ??? and i'm finding it especially difficult because im not familiar with PHP.

 

Thanks for looking and for any suggestions that you may have.

Rob
