I really like your drag'n drop with markers, Sabrina: (when you don't have enough space on the screen) the picto is enough to summarize what the answer represents, but you can always click on it to “find out more”. Very ingenious. I'll do it again. I don't think you can remove the pulse by changing the state. The pulse is (or isn't) there from the start... and forever, right? I haven't found a way to do it either.
Hi Thierry and Sabrina, couldn't you just use two identical markers that have the same normal and visited state, except:
- Marker 1 with 'pulse' and default state as normal.
- Marker 2 without 'pulse' and default state as hidden.
When user opens Marker 1 and then 'closes content', the state of Marker 2 becomes 'visited', and the state of Marker 1 becomes 'hidden'.
From the users point of view, it looks like the same marker, but it has stopped pulsing and looks 'visited'. (I think with a bit of tinkering, you could even stop Marker 1 pulsing when the marker window is open, perhaps through a hover trigger on Marker 1 making Marker 2 visible first. Also, you could use grayed-out text in Marker 2 to emphasise its been visited.)

Hi Philip, that's a good workaround! Thanks for the sample.
It would be nice though, if it wasn't necessary, but a build-in function.
