Yes. This:
var beaches = [
['The Round Table', 51.60805,-2.956889, "yellow"],
...

(beware, the group does weird things to code, so this may not cut and
paste into your page):
createMarker(map, new google.maps.LatLng(51.60805,-2.95688), 'The
Round Table', '<div id="content">'+
'<div id="siteNotice">'+
'</div>'+
'<img src="images/thumbs/test.jpg" alt="This is a test" />'+
'<h1>Lodge Hill Fort</h1>'+
'<p><strong>Postcode:</strong> NP8 5TU</p>'+
'<div id="bodyContent">'+
'<hr/>'+
'<img src="images/icons/terrain-walking.gif" width="24px"
height="24px" title="Uneven ground" />'+
'<img src="images/icons/access-red.gif" width="52px" height="28px"
title="Red zone - Accessibility access is low" />'+
'<hr/>'+
'<a href="#" title="Discover more about this location">Discover</
a>'+
'</div>'+
'</div>', yellow);
