        GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
          marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
        });
        return marker;

Answer 1

The Google Maps V3 API (Make sure you use only that – you seem to use the V2 API!) has a good documentation – make sure you bookmark this, you’ll need it.

There are lots of JavaScript samples. Here is an example for building a custom marker.

Also check out the Demo Gallery for advanced applications.
