Trying to add button in googlemap infoWindow

I'm trying to add a button in googlemap infoWindow but I'm beginner in javascript and I have spent weeks on this and still not working... So I hope one of you will be able to help me.
To explain you a litle bit... I get markers from a bdd to display them on a map. Then on marker click, a infoWindow opens with all info marker on it.
This is all working perfectly but then is when I don't get it.
I have added a submit button to each infoWindow markers and I would like an action on submit button click (save to database). But the button is not responding at all...
I removed all the code containing the save function to keep it all clear as there is a alert("click") to test the button...
<script type="text/javascript">
var bounds;
var markers = [];
var markerCount = 0;
function initialize(){
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(46.775090, 2.507969);
var mapOptions={
zoom: 6,
center: myLatLng,
maxZoom: 11,
},
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
setMarkers(map,marker);
const geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener("click", () => {
geocodeAddress(geocoder, map);
});
}
function setMarkers(map,locations){
for(var i=0; i<locations.length; i++){
var station = locations[i];
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(station['marker_latitude'], station['marker_longitude']);
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var image = 'https://marchad.fr/wp-includes/images/marchad.png';
var description = station['marker_text'];
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

Your first problem is the saveBtn is not part of the DOM until the InfoWindow has been opened as you are adding as a string in the InfoWindow content.

The second problem is that document.getElementsByClassName(class_name_saveBtn); returns an array. Instead of:
document.getElementsByClassName(class_name_saveBtn);
for a single marker, you need:
document.getElementsByClassName(class_name_saveBtn)[0];
for multiple markers/infowindows (get the last one created):
var removeBtn = document.getElementsByClassName(class_name_removeBtn);
removeBtn = removeBtn[removeBtn.length-1];
var saveBtn = document.getElementsByClassName(class_name_saveBtn);
saveBtn = saveBtn[saveBtn.length-1];

Maximum call stack size exceeded with using google maps and jQuery

Do you know why I get Maximum call stack size exceeded if I insert a code inside a function and execute it.
$(function() {
function loadContent() {
$.getJSON("js/data.json").done(function(data) {
var content = '';
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
content += '<div class="item" id="' + item.id + '" data-lat="' + item.latitude + '" data-lng="' + item.longitude + '" style="background-image: url(img/' + item.photo + ');"><div class="item__wrapper"><h2 class="item__title">' + item.title + '</h2><p class="item__content">' + item.description + '</p><span class="lat"><i class="fa fa-location-arrow"></i> ' + item.latitude + ' N, </span><span class="long">' + item.longitude + ' E</span></div></div>';
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(item.latitude, item.longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng
});
marker.setMap(map);
});
$('#sidebar').html(content);
$('.item').on("click", function() {
$(this).toggleClass("item--expanded").siblings().removeClass("item--expanded");
});
}).fail(function() {
var content = '<p>Błąd wczytywania danych!</p>';
$('#sidebar').html(content);
});
}
loadContent();
});
If I don't use function loadContent() It works fine. I've read it Maximum call stack size exceeded error but I don't execute the loop inside loop.
Edit: The problem is cause by this code:
<script>
var placeList = document.getElementById("sidebar");
placeList.addEventListener("click", getPlace, false);
function getPlace(ev) {
if (ev.target !== ev.currentTarget) {
clickedItem = ev.target.id;
var getItem = document.getElementById(clickedItem);
var lat = getItem.dataset.lat;
var lng = getItem.dataset.lng;
}
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
map.panTo(center);
map.setZoom(13);
}
</script>
But still don't know why!

Marker click event always opens to the last pushed infowindow

I have a json object infoCentros which I use to construct the map, like this:
for ( var i = 0; i < infoCentros.length; i++ ) {
var centro = infoCentros[i];
var lat = centro.cordenadas.lat;
var lon = centro.cordenadas.long;
if (lat && lon) {
c++;
latlon = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon);
var moptions = {
position: latlon,
map: $project.gmap
}
moptions.icon = theme_uri + '/images/marker.png';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(moptions);
$project.mapMarkers.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
$project.mapInfoWindow.setContent(
'<div class="sescam-info-window">' +
'<h3>' + centro.nombre + '</h3>' +
'<p>' + centro.lugar + '</h3>' +
'<p>Coordinador</p>' +
'<p>' + centro.coordinador.nombre + '</p>' +
'<p>' + centro.coordinador.email + '</p>' +
'<p>Responsable</p>' +
'<p>' + centro.responsable.nombre + '</p>' +
'<p>' + centro.responsable.email + '</p>'
+ '</div>'
);
$project.mapInfoWindow.open($project.gmap, marker);
});
$project.mapBounds.extend(latlon);
}
}
It seems to work fine, but if I have 5 markers, It doesn't matter which one I click, the infowindow always corresponds to the last item (position and content),
Any idea what am I missing? I thought that passing marker to the addListener would Do the trick..

Problem is with third argument of google.maps.event.addListener. That anonymous function contains the variable from the parent scope which when evaluated with marker click will always take the last value assigned. Look for closure for more details. However you may able to get the desired behaviour by using "bind" feature of javascript function prototype in below manner:
//inside for loop
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', handleMarkerClick.bind(undefined, marker, i));
//other codes if any...
defining handleClick
function handleMarkerClick(marker, index) {
if (typeof infowindow === 'undefined') {
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({});
}
var data = infoCentros[index]//helpful data
//create content with dynamic data
infowindow.setContent("dynamic content");
infowindow.open(marker.getMap(), marker);//modify as per your requirement
}

Duncan is right, he means you have to attach the listener outside of your for loop. It's not specific to Google Maps, it's how javascript works. Try searching for "javascript closures for loop" or visit this link - Closures in Javascript for a simple explanation.

Dropdown menu in google maps info window

I have a dropdown menu that I want to put inside a google maps infowindow. The menu is populated with contents from an array. When I position the menu outside the info window it works fine but when I try and put it inside the infowindow it breaks. The end goal is to get a form inside the info window so when I submit the form I can process the form data and return the directions to the marker. I have attached the code below and the problematic line is denoted by ** and thanks in advance for all your help.
Infowindow code:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
service.getDetails(request, function (place, status) {
var locationofplace = place.geometry.location;
var markerlocation = marker.getPosition();
var markerlat = markerlocation.lat();
var markerlng = markerlocation.lng();
if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
var contentStr = '<h5>' + place.name + '</h5><p>' + place.formatted_address;
if (!!place.formatted_phone_number) contentStr += '<br>' + place.formatted_phone_number;
if (!!place.website) contentStr += '<br><a target="_blank" href="' + place.website + '">' + place.website + '</a>'; * * contentStr += '<form><select id="selectNumber"><option>Change Address</option></select></form>'; * *
contentStr += '<br>Get Directions';
contentStr += '<br>' + place.types + '</p>';
infowindow.setContent(contentStr);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
} else {
var contentStr = "<h5>No Result, status=" + status + "</h5>";
infowindow.setContent(contentStr);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
});
});
add data to menu code:
window.addEvent('load', function () {
var select = document.getElementById("selectNumber");
for (var i = 0; i < addresses.length; i++) {
var opt = addresses[i];
var el = document.createElement("option");
el.textContent = opt;
el.value = opt;
select.appendChild(el);
}
});

use the domready-event of the infowindow instead of the load-event of the window to manipulate the dropdown(the dropdown hasn't been injected into the document before the domready-event)

how to make a clickable phone number in iphone application by using javascript and html5 applied mysql database?

and I know that 1-801-555-1212 will make this certain number be clickable. I tested it and it works fine.
My question is if I do have a variable phone which will call from database via mysql, how can I make this variable be clickable? I've tried a lot of way but none of them work.
I used the following link to create a store locator page

and my original code is here.

You can surround the phone number by a "a" tag with a href="tel:{PHONE NUMBER}"
