Need help with getting html elements interact with google maps.
I have 2 sections on a Web page. On the right side of the page, I have a map showing multiple markers. On the left side of the page, I have a list with addresses which correspond to the markers in the map.
Please suggest pointers on how to highlight a marker when the corresponding address is selected from the list on the left side of the page.

Okay, I made it with hover() . Hovering over the div highlights the marker
