Hide Markers on Click with Google Maps API

I am building a search form using Google Maps Javascript V3 API. I would like to add some filters that will hide certain types of markers on the map when clicked. The markers to hide are represented with
locations[i][11] == 'Other'
HTML:
Hide Other Markers
JavaScript:
var geocoder;
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var mapOptions = {
center: { lat: 48.509532, lng: -122.643852}
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),mapOptions);
var locations = <?php echo json_encode($locations_array); ?>;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
var content = '';
infowindow.setContent(content);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
google.maps.event.addDomListener(document.getElementsByClassName('hideOtherMarkers')[0], 'click', function() {
if (locations[i][11] == 'Other') {
marker.setVisible(false); // maps API hide call
}
});
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
When I click the link nothing fires, verified with alerts. I also tried google.maps.event.addListener (without Dom) with no success.

As commented by geocodezip this approach will not work, because i will always point behind the end of locations. Additionally this would hide at best 1 marker (the last marker that has been created).
Possible approach:
Store the visible-state of the markers in a MVCObject:
map-options:
var mapOptions = {
center: { lat: 48.509532, lng: -122.643852}
//that's the property where we store the state
visibility:new google.maps.MVCObject
};
inside the loop, after the creation of marker:
//when the state is not set yet, set it
if(typeof map.get('visibility').get(locations[i][11])==='undefined'){
map.get('visibility').set(locations[i][11],true);
}
//bind the visible-property of the marker to the state
marker.bindTo('visible',map.get('visibility'),locations[i][11]);
add the listener(outside of the loop):
google.maps.event.addDomListener(
document.getElementsByClassName('hideOtherMarkers')[0],
'click',
function() {
//simply set the desired property of the MVCObject to false
map.get('visibility').set('Other',false);
});

google maps, adding click event to anchors to open info windows

I have an application using Google maps, currently I have a number of markers added to the page and clicking on them opens up a info window.
I also have a pagniated list of results which I would like to open the corresponding info window when clicked. Currently clicking on one of these anchors opens all of the info windows, but this is as far as I can get currently.
I have a position marker function:
positionMarkers: function(lat, lng, user) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
map: map
});
if (caption == null) {
var caption = 'No caption available';
} else {
var caption = caption.text;
}
var contentString = '<div class="infoWindow"><h2>' + user + '</h2></div>';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString,
maxWidth: 284
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
$('.instaframe').bind('click', function(){
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
}
The trouble I am having is with the bind function towards the end of the snippet. I am not sure where to go to bind the click event with just the marker being added each time the positionMarkers function runs.
Marker one
Marker two
Marker three
Help would be greatly apprecaited.

Google Maps API v3 adding multiple markers w/ info windows w/ custom text

I am making a website over cyclists killed in Norway. For my project I have been using google maps api v3, but I have vague familiarity with javascript. You can see my result so far here: http://salamatstudios.com/googlemapstest/
Basicly I want to have multiple markers with infowindows on each one. Each one of the infowindows will contain:
Name (age),
Location,
Date of death,
Read more (which will be linked to a page on the website itself).
Like this example here: http://salamatstudios.com/bicycles/
I tried working with just one marker and infowindow and that worked just fine. When I want to add new markers with custom info windows on each I get stuck. At the moment I have 3 markers on different locations as seen in the first link, but none of the info windows appear when I click the marker..
How do I go around it to code it so the infowindows appear? And how can I have custom text in every infowindow? I am going to have about 30-40 markers on the map when it is done. All of the info windows will have different types of information.
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(65.18303, 20.47852),
zoom: 5,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
// MAP CONTROLS (START)
mapTypeControl: true,
panControl: true,
panControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_RIGHT
},
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE,
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP
},
streetViewControl: true,
streetViewControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP
},
// MAP CONTROLS (END)
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),
mapOptions);
// -------------- MARKER 1
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(59.96384, 11.04120),
map: map,
icon: 'img/bike5.png'
});
// MARKER 1'S INFO WINDOW
var infowindow1 = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: 'Name<br />Location<br />Date<br /><br />Read more(test link)'
});
// End of infowindow code
// Adding a click event to the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {
// Calling the open method of the infoWindow
infowindow1.open(map, marker);
});
// -------- END OF 1st MARKER
// -------------- MARKER 2
var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(60.63040, 8.56102),
map: map,
icon: 'img/bike5.png'
});
// MARKER 2'S INFO WINDOW
var infowindow2 = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: 'Name<br />Location<br />Date<br /><br />Read more(test link)'
});
// End of infowindow code
// Adding a click event to the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker2, 'click', function() {
// Calling the open method of the infoWindow
infowindow2.open(map, marker);
});
// -------- END OF 2nd MARKER
// -------------- MARKER 3
var marker3 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(60.39126, 5.32205),
map: map,
icon: 'img/bike5.png'
});
// MARKER 3'S INFO WINDOW
var infowindow3 = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: 'Name<br />Location<br />Date<br /><br />Read more(test link)'
});
// End of infowindow code
// Adding a click event to the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker3, 'click', function() {
// Calling the open method of the infoWindow
infowindow3.open(map, marker);
});
// -------- END OF 3rd MARKER
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
Would be great if some could give me a clue. I've tried searching around a bit, but I can't really find my answer. Thanks in advance! :-)

You need to attach the infowindow to the correct markers. Currently they are all associated with "marker", which doesn't exist (and should cause an error message in the javascript console when you click on the markers).
Inside the click listener change:
infowindow1.open(map, marker);
infowindow2.open(map, marker);
infowindow3.open(map, marker);
To:
infowindow1.open(map, marker1);
infowindow2.open(map, marker2);
infowindow3.open(map, marker3);
working example

In addition to HoangHieu Answer when you use for loop it better to use it this way:
marker.info = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: 'some text'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
this.info.open(map, this);
});

google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {
// Calling the open method of the infoWindow
infowindow1.open(map, marker);
});
change to
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {
// Calling the open method of the infoWindow
infowindow1.open(map, this);
});

Changing the Google Maps Marker HTML after a function is ran

So I'm trying to figure out a way to change the HTML of Google Maps V3 markers after they have been pulled from the database but before they are pushed up to the array.
When getFishing() is called, I'd like to run convertRate(rate) so that if the rate variable is equal to two or more, it shows a picture which is within the HTML of the Markers themselves. I've tried putting it in the bindInfoWindow4() and I've tried several places within the getFishing() function with no success. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible after the markers have been pushed up to the fishArray?
function getFishing() {
fishingUrl("XML_Fishing.php", function (data) {
var xml = data.responseXML;
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var id = markers[i].getAttribute("id");
var title = markers[i].getAttribute("title");
var rate = markers[i].getAttribute("rate");
var Fishhtml = "<img id='1star' src='images/1star.png' style='visibility:hidden'>";
var icon = FishingIcon;
var Fishmark = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
icon: icon.icon
});
fishArray.push(Fishmark);
bindInfoWindow4(Fishmark, map, Fishinfo, Fishhtml);
}
});
}
function convertRate(rate) {
if (rate >= 2) {
document.getElementById("1star").style.visibility = 'visible';
}
}
function bindInfoWindow4(marker, map, infoWindow, html) {
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infoWindow.setContent(html);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
}

If you change your click listener to display the HTML saved in a member variable of the marker, you can change it at any time. If the InfoWindow is open, you may want to close it and reopen it (or update its content in place, but that gets more complicated).
Something like:
function bindInfoWindow4(marker, map, infoWindow, html) {
marker.myHtmlContent = html;
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(marker.myHtmlContent);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
}
Then update the content by changing the value in marker.myHtmlContent. To make it visible, somthing like this:
marker.myHtmlContent = "<img id='1star' src='images/1star.png' style='visibility:visible'>";

Automatically opening marker info pane on google map

I've created a custom map with most things I want on it (custom icon and custom info bubble), however I can't find a solution to automatically open the markers info window on load, I've done alot of searching but can't seem to find anything the code I have so far is as follows, any help would be much appreciated:
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(54.325109,-2.742226);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var countries = [
{
title:'Remedy',
lat:54.3210,
lon:-2.7438,
content:"<h2>Remedy</h2><p>address, <br />location, <br />postcode</p> <p><b>T:</b> 07595 153 835 <br /><b>E:</b> <a href='mailto:email'>email</a></p>"
}
];
for (var i = 0; i < countries.length; i++) {
var c = countries[i];
c.marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(c.lat, c.lon),
map: map,
icon: '/wp-content/themes/remedy/display_images/google_map_icon.png',
title: c.title});
c.infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: c.content});
google.maps.event.addListener(c.marker, 'click', makeCallback(c));
}
function makeCallback(country) {
return function () {
country.infowindow.open(map, country.marker);
};
}
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}

Maybe it's not working because you just created the instance of the Map and didn't wait for the complete load of the map to open the InfoWindow.
Try something like this:
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', function(event) {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
According to the reference:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#Map
tilesloaded - This event is fired when the visible tiles have finished loading.

Hmm, inforwindow does not refer to anything in your code, which is why it is not working.
Since you have one country in the list as of now you can do a quick test and intialize the infowindow variable with an actual info window, or better yet also since you have 1 item in the list, just define c to be outside the loop so you can access it and then open the popup passing it the map and the marker, something like this (assuming c has been defined outside the loop)
c.infowindow.open(map, c.marker);

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "Test Route",
position: new google.maps.LatLng(38.8709866, -77.208055),
});
infowindow.open(map);
