I didn't look too closely at the files, but I suggest separating your data from the executing code. Use JSON to create a series of data objects and use a different script to run through those objects and build your page based on search criteria, etc.
>From what I saw in cruise_json.js, there's a lot of repeated if statements and variables. I have a feeling it would be easy to reduce that code. I could be missing the actual data file.. Also, it would be very helpful for troubleshooting if the demo you provided would have properly formatted code so that it would be easier to read. That's the main reason I didn't look too carefully.
