How do you make a link in a infowindow on google maps?

[frank_solo]

Does anyone know how to make link? let's say one clicks on on a pin and an info window pops up. I would like the the title in the window to become a link to the listing itself. In other words to <a href="apt.php?=<? echo "" . $row['id'] . "";>echo "" . $row['title'] . ""</a>

This is what I have:

The XML file:

 

<?php
require("../config.php");

function parseToXML($htmlStr) 
{ 
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$htmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','>',$xmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$xmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$xmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$xmlStr); 
return $xmlStr; 
} 

// Opens a connection to a mySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active mySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM places WHERE unit='Residential' AND county='New Jersey'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';

// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'title="' . $row['title'] . '" ';
  echo 'id="' . $row['id'] . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'space="' . $row['space'] . '" ';
  echo 'amount="$' . $row['amount'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}

// End XML file
echo '</markers>';

?>

The Map:

    var customIcons = {
      "House": {
        icon: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_blue.png',
        shadow: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png'
      },
      
    };

    function load() {
      var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map2"), {
        center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.9167, -74.1722),
        zoom: 11,
        mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
      });
      var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;

      // Change this depending on the name of your PHP file
      downloadUrl("commphpsqlajax_genxml.php", function(data) {
        var xml = data.responseXML;
        var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
        for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
          var name = markers[i].getAttribute("title");
          var address = markers[i].getAttribute("amount");
          var type = markers[i].getAttribute("space");
          var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
              parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
              parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
          var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
          var icon = customIcons[type] || {};
          var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            map: map,
            position: point,
            icon: icon.icon,
            shadow: icon.shadow
          });
          bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html);
        }
      });
    }

    function bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html) {
      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
        infoWindow.setContent(html);
        infoWindow.open(map, marker);
      });
    }

    function downloadUrl(url, callback) {
      var request = window.ActiveXObject ?
          new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') :
          new XMLHttpRequest;

      request.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (request.readyState == 4) {
          request.onreadystatechange = doNothing;
          callback(request, request.status);
        }
      };

      request.open('GET', url, true);
      request.send(null);
    }

    function doNothing() {}

          var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;

 

Just change that bit of HTML to include your anchor tag for the link.

Ok so I need to first add the variable from the xml file onto to the map:

 

var id = markers[i].getAttribute("id");

Then like kicken said I had the html to include the tag like so:

 

var html = "<b>" + name + "</a></b> <br/>" + address +"<br /><a href='apt.php?id=" + id +"'>View Listing</a><br /><b></b>" ;

Thanks for the guidance.
