Is it possible to embed a jQuery animated SPAN element into a Google Map at a specific latitude and longitude? (Just like a map marker.)
Currently, I am using a jQuery plugin to animate a series of transparent PNG frames and then populate a span tag with those PNGs. (See the animation plugin here: http://blog.shynet.nl/post/2010/08/28/Alternative-to-animated-GIFs-AnimateImages-jQuery-Plugin.aspx)
My original idea was to use CSS to position the SPAN object on top of the map where I wanted it, but this solution will not work when the user drags the map. How can I embed this object into a map in a fashion similar to a map marker?
My source code can be found on PasteBin here: http://pastebin.com/MY0SfqXE
An example would be much appreciated!
