Incorporating Streetview

I'm working on incorporating streetviews in this map:
http://commonbond2.pegasus.webaloo.com/findhousing/all_maps9.asp

It is based on Mike Williams's code (the Econym/Blackpool Church guy),
and uses an xml file to provide the data for the markers.

Clicking on the markers generates a pop-up window, which contains a
link to information about each property, to-from input boxes, and a
streetview. The streetview is not located in the window, but down
below the map.

Here's the problem. The markers work great, but I've also got a
clickable sidebar with links. The links will open the html pop-up
windows, but they will not open the streetview. They appear to be
bypassing the overlay completely.

I've tried a number of things to get the sidebars to pick up the
overlay, but I just can't seem to get it done. Does anyone have either
suggestions or examples they could point me to?

Here's the code. Warning - I am not a scripter...

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
// this variable will collect the html which will eventually be
placed in the side_bar
var side_bar_html = "";

// arrays to hold copies of the markers and html used by the
side_bar
// because the function closure trick doesnt work there
var gmarkers = [];
var htmls = [];

// arrays to hold variants of the info window html with get
direction forms open
var to_htmls = [];
var from_htmls = [];

// A function to create the marker and set up the event window
function createMarker(point,name,html,id) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
var i = gmarkers.length;

var myPano;
var NO_NEARBY_PANO = 600;
myPano = function initialize () {

var theAlamo = new GLatLng(point.lat(),point.lng());
panoramaOptions = { latlng:theAlamo };
myPano = new GStreetviewPanorama(document.getElementById("pano"),
panoramaOptions);
GEvent.addListener(myPano, "error", handlePanoError);
document.getElementById("pano").innerHTML = "";
}

function handlePanoError(errorCode) {
if (errorCode == NO_NEARBY_PANO ) {
document.getElementById("pano").innerHTML = "Street View
is not available for this property";
return;
}
}

// This function picks up the click and opens the corresponding
info window
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
