I can't find a sidebar like Mike's on that link though. Yours just has
categories. And there's an error when zooming, "load is not defined"
because there isn't a function called "load". An error in a zoom
handler disrupts marker replotting and tile loading. And you're using
extInfoWindows, which may behave differently to ordinary infoWindows.
Where is the code you are **actually** having difficulty with?

Assuming you are actually using ordinary infoWindows, what you may
need to do is to ensure that the map manipulation is queued correctly.
It sounds like the setCenter isn't finished before the openInfoWindow
attempts to do its stuff. Something like the following, perhaps, but I
can't test it because your page is still a secret. Using a zero delay
is sufficient to ensure operations are in different timeslices.

GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
map.setCenter(marker.getLatLng());
setTimeout(marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html),0);
});

Hint: if you don't want to publish a temporary url to your page for
posterity, use tinyurl or shrinkalink or something to hide it from
searching.
