The map es up and the point appears. I have the title appearing as well. But as soon as I click on the marker to get info, nothing appears. Firebug info is below.

The information is being brought in via a database and there are multiple items; multiple markers are shown on the map as they should.

Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks..

• Question: do you plan on having multiple InfoWindows open at the same time (the code above seems to imply that) or having only one open at a time (clicking on different markers closes the existing window)? – Tina CG Hoehr Commented Jun 2, 2012 at 23:35

Changing to a capital W was not enough for me. Only one location was being opened. I tested your code with two points:

MarkLat = [];
MarkLong = [];
Display = [];
MarkerTitle= [];

MarkLat[0] = 0;
MarkLong[0] = 0;
Display[0] = { content: "hi" };
MarkerTitle[0] = "hello";

MarkLat[1] = 10;
MarkLong[1] = 10;
Display[1] = { content: "hi 2" };
MarkerTitle[1] = "hello 2";

I'm guessing you only want one InfoWindow on the screen at any given time. Then, a single InfoWindow should be declared, with the contents kept inside the marker, and have the contents change as the marker is clicked.

var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
for (var i = 0, length = Display.length; i < length; i++) {
  var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(MarkLat[i],MarkLong[i]);

  // Creating a marker and putting it on the map
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latLng,
    map: map,
    title: MarkerTitle[i],
    infoWindowContent: Display[i]
  });

  // Notice I used the 'this' keyword inside the listener
  google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
    infoWindow.setContent(this.infoWindowContent.content);
    infoWindow.open(map,this);
  });
}

The alternative, having many InfoWindows pop up, needs a change to click listener, so that a reference to each individual InfoWindow is preserved. This effect is acplished with an anonymous function wrapped around the infoWindow.open function (a new function scope is created).

for (var i = 0, length = Display.length; i < length; i++) {
  var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(MarkLat[i],MarkLong[i]);
  var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(Display[i]);

  // Creating a marker and putting it on the map
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latLng,
    map: map,
    title: MarkerTitle[i] 
  });

  google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(infoWindow) {
    return function() {
      infoWindow.open(map,this);
    }
  })(infoWindow));
}

infowindow != infoWindow

You just have declared it with a capital, trying to use it without
