@Larry Well, there could very well be up to 25 different markers, all with unique infowindow content. For the moment though there will only be 10.
What did you mean by 'putting the unique content for each marker in the table which defines their locations' ? Is that the section of code that defines each markers' latlong coordinates? How would I go about 'making unique calls to the createMarker function for each location'? Forgive me if these are basic programming methods but I'm not a programmer by day so it may seem a little stupid of me to ask such questions but please bare with me!! :) Thanks for all your help, it really is appreciated!
