7,008 PointsCode Issues on Adding Info Windows Code Challenge
Just an FYI, there are some issues with the questions on this challenge
For the first task, you're asked to:
On line 27, set the variable "infoWindow" to a "new google.maps.InfoWindow" passing in an object with the key "content" set to the string of "Magic Kingdom"
In the second task, the direction is:
On the next line, in app.js, use "google.maps.event.addListener()" with "marker" as the first argument, "click" as the second, and then an anonymous function as the third.
When I attempted the task on line 18 I was told I was incorrect. When I attempted the task on line 28, it passed.
Just FYI if this is driving anyone nuts.

Yes, this was driving me crazy, but it makes sense.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(){});
If you try to run the code above on line 18, it fails because there is no global variable "marker" to pass to the addListener method. "marker" is declared on line 23 inside the anonymous function inside the .geocode() method, which means you can only access it locally (i.e. on line 28).
Hope that helps clarify things.
