Javascript, Change google map marker color

Question

May I know a way to change the Google Map marker color via Javascript.. I am new at this and any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

I used the following code to create a marker

 marker = new google.maps.Marker({      position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1],       locations[i][2]),      animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,      map: map  });

In Google Maps API v3 you can try changing marker icon. For example for green icon use:

marker.setIcon('http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png') 

Or as part of marker init:

marker = new google.maps.Marker({     icon: 'http://...' }); 

Other colors:

• http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/blue-dot.png
• http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/red-dot.png

Etc.
