Customizing An Infowindow

Post a Comment
Is it possible to change the color of the border, the alignment, padding and other attributes of an InfoWindow? I've been looking for this for a week but I always end up here. And

Solution 1:

The content that you pass to an InfoWindow may be: text, HTML, or a DOM element. The InfoWindow is by default sized to fit whataver content you pass, so the best way to control the content the way you describe is to create a div, assign a CSS class to the div, and then you will have complete control over the appearance of your InfoWindow content.

Also, if you want to have more control over the actual appearance of the window structure itself, you may want to consider using the InfoBubble Utility Library as a stylable drop-in replacement for the standard InfoWindow.

Solution 2:

Checkout the sample code of this url,

In this code, InfoBox extends GOverlay class from the Google Maps API and creating div dynamically and drawing into the map.
