I'm using api V3's infobubble with tabs. Everything works great with the first marker, 3 tabs show up with the correct data. then you click another marker and the first markers tabs with the data show up along with the new markers 3 tabs, so you end up with 6 tabs when you click the second marker. When you click the third marker, the window closes and then the new marker infobubble appears with the first 6 tabs and then the new 3 tabs for that marker so you end up with 9 tabs, ect with each new click. Basically, when you click the second marker, the first marker window needs to close and the second marker needs to open with only the 3 tabs for that marker only and not all the other tabs from previously opened markers. I hope this is clear. Here is the entire pages code:
