I'm trying to create a map based on a list of locations nearest to a given address. I retrieve the various locations using PHP and then call a javascript function (in the code) to add a marker for each point and an Info Window to pop up when they're clicked.
The problem I'm experiencing is that only the last location to have a marker created has an Info Window - clicking any of the other markers opens an Info Window on the last marker (e.g. clicking the marker for point A opens the info window on point D - the last one).
Is there anyway to give a marker a unique key of some sort to prevent this? Adding different names for each variable is impractical since the number of locations returned varies based on the distance entered.

This example should do what you are looking for, it is straight off our my code, you would only need to reference the correct DIV and set the latitudes and longitudes.
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementB
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(30.237555, -96.448975), 7);
var marker = new GMarker(map.getCenter());
var gmarkers = [];
// A function to create the marker and set up the event window
function createMarker(point,name,ht
var marker = new GMarker(point);
GEvent.addListener(marker,
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(
});
// save the info we need to use later for the side_bar
gmarkers.push(marker);
return marker;
}
// add the points
var point = new GLatLng(30.381047, -97.724503);
var marker = createMarker(point,"Austin
map.addOverlay(marker);
var point = new GLatLng(29.822546, -97.992098);
var marker = createMarker(point,"San Marcos","<strong>San Marcos:</strong><br>4554 South IH 35<br>San Marcos, TX 78666<br>(512) 396-2386<br><br>Directions: <a href='#form-directions'>To here<" + "/a>")
map.addOverlay(marker);
var point = new GLatLng(29.699611,-95.4840
var marker = createMarker(point,"Housto
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
