Good to see you're almost there. And apologies for the bum steer on
parsing your JSON data. I should have added to my original disclaimer
that I don't know anything about JSON, either.

I'm not seeing any markers in IE either, but I'm sure that Andrew's
suggestion for tweaks to your data file will fix that.

if the line 58 problem persists, I would try even MORE apostrophes
around the html tags and see if that doesn't make a difference. I'd
try something like this:
var html = '<b>'+name+'</b><br /><a href="'+web+'">'Client website'</
a><br /><a href="'+url+'">'Link to more info at mapformation.com'</
a><p>'+info+'</p>';

Which may work. Or it may break the thing entirely - no harm in
trying. But expecting people to view your page in compatibility mode
is a bit of an ask in my book.

I have one more suggestion for once you get the above sorted - some of
those text chunks are very chunky (Florida International University is
a decent example). You could consider putting line breaks in your text
in the data file to break long passages up, although how JSON will
deal with those tags is, as I say, beyond me. You might need to wrap
the text in CDATA tags. Or something else entirely. Or nothing at all.

Possibly worth noting, too, is that infowindows have a maxWidth
optional parameter, which means that you can make them narrower (the
payoff being that they become taller). From a readability viewpoint, I
think text on screen is best in reasonably short paragraphs with
reasonably short line lengths.
