GMaps V3 InfoWindow - disable the close “x” button

Question

From what I see, in v2 of GMaps API there was a property \"buttons\" of the InfoWindow object that one could define in a way that given InfoWindow has no close button:

Answer 1

google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'domready', function() {

    var iwOuter = jQuery('.gm-style-iw');

    // Reference to the div that groups the close button elements.
    var iwCloseBtn = iwOuter.next();

    // Apply the desired effect to the close button
    iwCloseBtn.remove()
});

As there is no option to hide this by API parameter, you have to find the element by targeting the content window and remove it.

Hope this helps :)
