Google Maps Sidebar Render Issue - javascript

I wonder whether it's possible that someone could help me please with a problem I've been trying to solve for over a week now.
I'm using this page to try and implement sidebar functionality to my Google map with the list entries and associated map markers switched on and off via category checkboxes.
I can get the markers to appear and disappear via the checkboxes, but I can't get the sidebar to render on the page.
As I said I've spent a lot of time on this and I seem to be going round in circles and I just can't work out where I'm going wrong.
I just wondered whether it's at possible that someone could take a look at this please and let me know where I've gone wrong.
Sincere thanks and kind regards

I am trying to make my extension change background-color of every event containing certain word(or set of characters) in Google Calendar

I am taking my first steps in JS, I know that I have a lot of reading ahead of me, but I am searching and trying to make this little thing work. Maybe I've chosen a bad example of a website for testing influence of chrome extensions, but maybe solving this problem will somehow enlighten me and help with future learning.
I want to change the background-color of google calendar events depending on words/set of characters they contain.
I tried using contains() selector which seemed to work on simplier websites (I could see the CSS applied in DevTools) but divs with events on Google Calendar stay untouched.
Can the script somehow be blocked by Google Calendar? Should I use some of the permissions listed on developer.chrome.com/extensions ?
Sorry that I am not attaching any code at the moment, I don't have it with me, and I can't recreate it from the head. I wanted to post it in my free time, and at least get some new ideas.
I'll be grateful for any help!

Google Slides Linked Items

I'm trying to right a script that will loop through all linked items in a google slide and update then automatically at a given time.
I've managed to get this working for charts that I have linked from a spreadsheet, but can't seem to find a way to update anything else that I have linked.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Mapping: Click on a marker, show content next to the map?

I am kind of newbie in geocoding, so I hope you can give me some hints how to get the following:
I want to make a map with D3 or leaflet that has some marker on it. If you click on a marker, information should pop up/be shown right next to the map. Kind of like in this example: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/local/14th-street-businesses/
How can I accomplish this?
I guess there are 3 components involved. I need help with 2 of them.
The map: I can do that
Some kind of ajax, because I don't want the page to be loaded, if you click on a marker - right?
Some kind of jquery/javascript that opens on the righthand side if I click on a marker - right?
Plus: If you know any tutorials, case studies etc. that deal with this kind of task, please let me know.
Thanks!
I accomplished my goal by combining leaflet and jquery following this tutorial and extending it http://palewi.re/posts/2012/03/26/leaflet-recipe-hover-events-features-and-polygons/
Or maybe this http://leafletjs.com/examples/choropleth.html ? It's similar to what you are asking with few adjustments. You should play with the css to make it right for you. Instead of the numeric values of the example you can enter anything you want(images, html code etc)

jQuery UI Right-Click Menu AND General Advice Needed

So, recently I have been trying to build a user interface form builder that is almost entirely drag and drop. Kind of like Dreamweaver or visual studios I suppose. You guys can see it for yourselves HERE! I am trying to get a right-click menu thing going, however upon getting this working, I realized that it really conflicted with both the draggable and resizable methods. I don't have to right click at all, however when I go to resize or drag, it won't let me stop it. My cursor gets stuck either resizing or dragging, and requires vigorous clicking and shaking to free it. So, I'm assuming that I need a different plugin. Does anybody know of a stress free simple right-click menu that is hopefully compatible with jquery ui? I've tried google but most of them are simply a different version of the one I've already been using.
My second question is much more vague. As I previously mentioned, I'm trying to make a form builder. I'm wondering what the best way to go about this is as I feel sort of lost. My biggest problems right now are figuring out how I'm going to parse everything into code and export it. Does anybody know of anyone else who has attempted this or something similar? Is there any sort of guide?
I know the second questions has potential to be rather annoying, so feel free to only focus on the first one. Any help is appreciated, and I thank everybody who helps me.
EDIT: Just realized that you guys may not know how to use the builder. So far, all you can do is drag panels out onto the building space, and then drag tables within the panels. You can resize the building space, and panels vertically, and you can resize tables both vertically and horizontally. You can move panels and tables within their parent elements. Right click a panel or table for the contextmenu.
EDIT: So I think I found a context menu that will suffice, here it is. So, I guess that only leaves giving me advice on how to go about constructing this form builder.

Twitter feed HTML

I am trying to display the last 5 tweets in a div, that's about it. I will put a design around it to mimmick the Twitter widget you can get on the Twitter site.
The problem is I am unsure of how to do this. I went through some of the Twitter docs, searched here, found some tutorials. None really seem to cover just this.
Can someone point me in the right direction or shed some light on what I need to do?
Thanks
This might provide you with the source code to get you started. Its the jQuery Twitter Ticker plugin. Here's another link that is a bit more descriptive.
Fetch the data
Generate DOM elements that match the structure you want, populating them with the data as you go
Insert into the DOM for the page
Edit your CSS until you're happy with it
