    Can’t get substring method to work with marker.key(name)

    Posted by Roland R. kahlenberg on March 8, 2014 at 3:21 am

    I’ve got a variable, exactString, which was obtained with the substring method – all works fine.

    I would now like to use exactString as a marker name but I keep getting errors. This was my last attempt –

    marker.key(“” “+ exactString”);

    What’s the proper syntax to get things to work correctly?

    TIA

    This works -> marker.key(“” + exactString)

    Cheers
