Hi,
Why is my HTML invalid? I know it doesn't validate - but this is only
a dev version ;)
I think I've taken on board most of what you said - but doing:
marker_array[marker_count] = marker; /* save to an array, so
we can access it later... */
map.addOverlay(marker);
..never seems to actually populate marker_array
alert(marker_array[1]);
..just tells me its undefined.

Am I missing something?
I *really* appreciate you taking the time with this - I'm new to all
this JS/google map stuff, so its a sharp learing curve.
TIA
Andy
