I want an infowindow to open automatically when this map is loaded. I'm trying to apply the very fine answer here, the only difference I can see being that I'm triggering a click on a marker rather than on a polygon. I've been staring at and fiddling with the code for a while but just can't get it to trigger that click. What am I missing?
Thanks, Drew
This pared-down version is using a KML file with one placemark. The relevant code for the event.trigger is down at line 33.

You have a javascript error in your code: Uncaught ReferenceError: geoXml is not defined (because geoXml is undefined). That should be blues in your code.
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(47.606209, -122.332069)
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var blues = new geoXML3.parser({
map: map,
zoom: false
});
blues.parse('allbluesdance_seattle.kml');
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function () {
alert("Clicking now.");
google.maps.event.trigger(blues.docs[0].placemarks[0].marker, 'click');
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
