Hello Ben,

Yes, I tried zIndex first, and it didn't work. There are examples (in the forum) where it's shown as 'zindex', so I tried that too. That doesn't work for me either.

Everything else in my script works as intended, it's very frustrating !

    I'm trying to ensure that custom markers being displayed at the same o-
    ordinates are shown in a specified  z order.  To avoid overlap, some
    markers have a longer 'pin' so that they appear above others (ie.
    further north)  I want to avoid the 'pin' on the icon overlying the
    other icon.
    I've followed (I hope) examples in the Google API V3, but nothing I do
    is changing the z order of markers.

    I'm creating the marker as follows:
    ...
                                   var marker = new google.maps.Marker (
                                           posn, {
                                           title: title,
                                           icon: icon,
                                           desc: desc,
                                           draggable: false,
                                           zindex: zInd
                                   });
                                   GEvent.addListener(marker, "click",
    function() {
                                           marker.openInfoWindowHtml(desc);
                                   });
    ...
    The required value of zindex IS being captured in the value of 'zind',
    but it's not getting into the marker (or if it is, it's not having any
    visible effect.

    See http://www.holidaymullandiona.com/maps5/index.php.
    There are two cases there where an 'SC' marker shows above another
    marker.  In the left example the pin of the 'SC' marker can be seen on
    the 'GH' marker below.  In the right example the pin is hidden behind
    the 'BB' marker below.
    This has been achieved by setting the order of creation of the markers
    ( a method not available to me in production).
    All my attempts to change the z order on the fly have failed.

    I've seen examples where the variable has an uppercase 'I' ('zIndex')
    instead of 'zindex', but neither work for me.

    Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, please ?
