Displaying an info window in Google Maps along with a marker
I have designed a Google Map page that displays the marker I'm talking to. If you click on marketr the infoWindow will appear. However, I was wondering if anyone knows how to open the info window and display the marker at the same time? (as when loading)
Here's the page: http://www.sportingemporium.com/map_test3.htm
This looks like a straight forward exercise, but I've searched for hours without finding a solution!
Any help would be great!

You just need to call marker.openInfoWindowHtml()
to open the info window imperatively:
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
var point = new GLatLng(53.3407791, -6.2596385);
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(point, 16);
// Set up three markers with info windows
var html = 'South Anne Street,<br />Dublin 2, Ireland';
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); // This opens the info window automatically
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});

here is the code! ... as you can see, the page load block is already occupied by GUnload () Is there somewhere else I could put this call?
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
function createMarker(point,html) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
// Display the map, with some controls and set the initial location
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(53.3407791,-6.2596385),16);
// Set up three markers with info windows
var point = new GLatLng(53.3407791,-6.2596385);
var marker = createMarker(point,'<img src="images/casino-on-map.jpg" width="125" height="125" hspace="10" align="left"><strong>The Sporting Emporium</strong><br/><p>Annes Lane, <br />South Anne Street,<br />Dublin 2, Ireland<br /><br />(+353 1) 7030 600<br /><a href="mailto:info@thesportingemporium.com">info@thesportingemporium.com</a></p>')
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
// display a warning if the browser was not compatible
else {
alert("Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser");
}
//]]>
