Change google maps marker icon when external link is clicked?

Question

I have a google map with lots of markers on it (gathered from MySQL database). I\'m currently using the following code to change a marker\'s icon when that marker is clicked

Answer 1

Trigger the 'click' event on the marker when the link is clicked.

google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i], "click");

example with a clickable dynamic sidebar (the click listener opens an infowindow)
