[OpenLayers-Users] Externally toggle a marker's popup

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi aschwartz,

First of all, you'll need to access this marker.  A simple way is to 
keep a trace of it. How do you add it to your map ? If you create/add 
this marker in a function at the load of your page, you can just create 
a global variable and assign to it the marker. In this case, you'll be 
able to create a JS function to toggle this marker easily by setting 
something like: href="javascript:toggleMyMarker();". There is a lot of 
way to do what you want.

Regards,
Alan
