LoadPin is a function to add a marker to a map. It initializes the layer on the first call. map is an openlayers map object.
But using map.removeLayer("markers") or "Markers", does not remove the markers from the map. I saw a mention of a destroy operation to do this but cant find that.
AND, how do I remove the popups?
var markers = null
function LoadPin(LL, name, description) {
var size = new OpenLayers.Size(36, 47);
var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w / 2), -size.h);
var icon = new OpenLayers.Icon('http://www.waze.co.il/images/home.png', size, offset);
if (markers == null) {
markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers("Markers");
map.addLayer(markers);
}
var marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(LL, icon)
markers.addMarker(marker);
var bounds = markers.getDataExtent();
map.zoomToExtent(bounds);
map.addPopup(new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud("test", LL, null,
"<div style='font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:0.8em;'>" + name + "<br>" + description + "</div>",
anchor = null, true, null));
}
You can remove individual markers from a marker layer with:
markers.removeMarker(marker);
Removing the entire layer, with markers should be achieved with:
markers.destroy();
You should be able to remove a popup with:
map.removePopup(popup);
where popup is the Popup object created earlier.
