I couldn't get your map to display any markers in FF or IE7 or IR8.

There were a few bit of code needed tidying up and it works now in all
browsers i've tried:

http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/user_maps/trpc.org/clustermarker_resperm.php

selectExample() being used before it was defined was an error picked
up by JSLint.
http://www.jslint.com/

I've commented most changes i made - and removed some unused variables
too.
The page will throw an error if you select a year from the list -
that's just my site's 404 error page failing to parse as a JSON
object.
(I only copied resperm_2008.txt to my server).
