Created a google map with GMap2 and put pinpoints on there that open up a balloon with the address when the pinpoint is clicked.

I would like users to be able to click text on the page itself and use jquery to open up the corresponding balloon. However I can't figure out the ID to use to call a jquery click event. Basically I've got a store listing down the left side and when user clicks store name I want it to open up the corresponding balloon.

GEvent.addListener(marker_500, "click", function ()
{
map.openInfoWindowHtml(point, myHtml);
}

Any idea what element tied to this click event is?

Tried

$("#marker_500").click();

And that doesn't work. Also tried alerting $(this).attr('id'); inside the click function and that is undefined. thanks jason
