Google Maps - when clicked Marker doesn't show

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to use the Google Map API- I've successfully managed to add an icon but when it is clicked nothing else happens...

This is my code:

function placeMarkerAtPoint(point)
{
    var marker = new GMarker(point,{icon: icon});

    GEvent.addListener(marker,"click",function() {

     marker.openInfoWindowHtml('here is some text');
    });

    map.addOverlay(marker);
}

When I run this in IE & click an Icon I see the not very useful javascript error: 'x' is null or not an object. I haven't even defined any variable called x ???

Thanks in advance for your your help

Looks like you aren't instanciating an icon object (or not passing it into your placeMarkerAtPoint function).
