Timing issue in my code

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Greetings,

I am having a problem with an application and I can't figure out why
my code isn't working.  If I uncomment the alert in the createMarker
function, the code places all of the markers.  Function initialize is
called at body on load

I will include my javascript and the current firebug output and a url
to the site so you can see it.

http://207.114.33.247/default.asp  is the url of my problem code.

http://207.114.33.247/butscher.asp does work and it is placing 20
markers where as the other code is attempting to place 3 markers.

Thanks for taking the time to look this over

Firebug has this to say:
this.Q is null

Here is my code:
