z-Index overlay in google maps version 3
- by fredrik
Hi,
I'm trying to get an overlay in google maps api v3 to appear above all markers. But it seems that the google api always put my overlay with lowest z-index priority. Only solution i've found is to iterate up through the DOM tree and manually set z-index to a higher value. Poor solution.
I'm adding my a new div to my overlay with:
onclick : function (e) {
var index = $(e.target).index(),
lngLatXYposition = $.view.overlay.getProjection().fromLatLngToDivPixel(this.getPosition());
icon = this.getIcon(),
x = lngLatXYposition.x - icon.anchor.x,
y = lngLatXYposition.y - icon.anchor.y
$('<div>test</div>').css({ left: x, position: 'absolute', top: y + 'px', zIndex: 1000 }).appendTo('.overlay');
}
I've tried every property I could think of while creating my overlay. zIndex, zPriority etc.
I'm adding my overlay with:
$.view.overlay = new GmapOverlay( { map: view.map.gmap });
And GmapOverlay inherits from new google.maps.OverlayView.
Any ideas?
