Controlling marker from external Event

Question

How I can add external control like click event to any anchor out side of map to open a marker. Is there any stand alone example or can any one guide me how I can achieve this.

here is example but he is using his library. I can not use his library because my most of the code is already completed.

It sounds like you are just trying to open an info window based on a click event on some DOM element?

If that is the case, you just need to add an onClick handler to the DOM element and call a javascript function that can locate the appropriate GMarker object and trigger it's click event:

// gmarkers is an array of markers that we added to the map
var gmarkers = []; 

function triggerClick (indexofMarker)
{
    GEvent.trigger(gmarkers[indexofMarker], "click");
}

You can find an example of this here (source).
