Ok, I'll admit I'm nowhere near the best programmer on the planet - and I'm used to the answer staring me right in the face but not making sense of it.

Problem

I need to display multiple markers on a map, each with their own infowindow. I have created the individual markers without a problem, but don't know how to create the infowindows for each.

Steps so far

I am generating a map using the V3 API within an ASP-based website, with markers being created from a set of DB records. The markers are created by looping through a rs and defining a marker() with the relevant variables:

            var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,long);
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                    map: map,
                    position: myLatlng,
                    title: 'locationname',
                    icon: 'http://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/park.png'
            });

This is creating all the relevant markers in their correct locations.

What I need to do now, and am not sure of how to achieve is give each of them their own unique infowindow which I can use to display information and links relevant to that marker.

                            <!-- End While locations_haslatlong not BOF.EOF -->

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

                      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'dblclick', function() {
                      map.setZoom(14);
                      });
