jquery - 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:

marker.openInfoWindowHtml("No Close Button",{buttons:{close:{show:4}}});

The above however does not apply for v3. Does anybody know a way to do it? I read about an utility that replaces InfoWindow called InfoBox but it has not been developed for the past 2 years. I'm currently using the latest 3.13 version of Gmaps v3 API.

A workaround with jQuery is acceptable, if there is no better solution.

Answer 1

You can also do it through the css.

.gm-style-iw + div {display: none;}

as @antmeehan said in the comment,

Google have changed the HTML, and the close button is now a button element rather than a div

So the css code to hide the "x" button is now:

.gm-style-iw + button {display: none;}
