url.content not loading image javascript and asp.net mvc

I have my javascript in my view and I am trying to load an image from my database into an info window for my google maps but the image does not load.
Javascript code in view:
$.get("#Url.Action("GetMarkers","Donator")", function (json, status) {
//Global infoWindow object that will be reused by all markers
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, data;
//Loop through the json data
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
data = json[i];
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.Latitude, data.Longitude)
//Creating marker and putting it on the map
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
title: data.NpoName + ' says Click Me!'
});
// Creating a closure to retain the correct data, notice how I pass the current data in the loop into the closure (marker, data)
(function (marker, data) {
// Attaching a click event to the current marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
var imageUrl = '<%=Url.Content(' + data.VerificationIcon + ')%>';
infoWindow.setContent('<h3 class="info-window-title">' + data.NpoName + '</h3>' + '<hr />' + '<p>Npo type: ' + data.NpoType + '</p>' + '<p>' + data.VerificationStatus + '<img src="' + imageUrl + '" alt="verification icon" class="verification-icon" />' + '</p>' + 'Click here to donate!');
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
})(marker, data);
};
});
Code in controller:
public JsonResult GetMarkers()
{
//Disable lazy loading
db.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
//Map marker section
var DynamicMapMarkers = db.tblNpo.Include(zz => zz.tblVerification).Include(xx => xx.tblNpo_Type);
//Set map marker values
foreach (var item in DynamicMapMarkers)
{
DonatorUserViewModel MapMarkers = new DonatorUserViewModel();
MapMarkers.NpoID = item.npo_id;
MapMarkers.NpoName = item.npo_name;
MapMarkers.NpoType = item.tblNpo_Type.description;
MapMarkers.VerificationStatus = item.tblVerification.description;
MapMarkers.VerificationIcon = item.tblVerification.verification_icon;
MapMarkers.Longitude = Convert.ToDouble(item.longitude);
MapMarkers.Latitude = Convert.ToDouble(item.latitude);
MapMarkerList.Add(MapMarkers);
}
var json = MapMarkerList;
return Json(json, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Main focus area from the code above:
var imageUrl = '<%=Url.Content(' + data.VerificationIcon + ')%>';
infoWindow.setContent('<h3 class="info-window-title">' + data.NpoName + '</h3>' + '<hr />' + '<p>Npo type: ' + data.NpoType + '</p>' + '<p>' + data.VerificationStatus + '<img src="' + imageUrl + '" alt="verification icon" class="verification-icon" />' + '</p>' + 'Click here to donate!');
The format of the way the image is stored in the database ~/Images/DbImages/verified.png
I am not sure why the image isn't loading, or how to work around it. Any help would be appreciated.

Undefined on tohere and fromhere message windows in google maps API V3

I have a map loading on my site (I am not a java coder this is code i have found on the internet). I have figured out mostly how to get it working for my needs. However when you click on the To Here or From Here links instead of populating the address from the marker over it shows as undefined in the message window. I am sure this is something easy I am missing but any help is appreciated

You aren't defining the html variable which is used for that first field of the HTML in the infowindow.
// The info window version with the "to here" form open
to_htmls[i] = html +
'<b>To here<\/b> - <a href="javascript:fromhere(' + i + ')">From here<\/a>' +
// ...
'"/>';
That should be the HTML you want displayed, in the case or your example, this works for me:
html = 'Fusion Formulations<br>1430 W Auto Drive<br>Tempe, AZ 85284<br>';
Also, you have an issue with the title property of the marker. You are assigning the Title property, which is not the same (javascript is case sensitive).
(Also, FYI, the MarkerOptions title property doesn't support HTML markup, so you shouldn't include HTML markup in the title string)

(note the actual directions request doesn't work in the code snippet due to a security restriction: Blocked form submission to 'javascript:getDirections()' because the form's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-forms' permission is not set., it does work in the fiddle)

Save Button Not attached to the Right InfoWindow, Google Map

After adding a delete function and adding my markers into an array the save button/ save function is no longer attached to the right infowindow on my google map.
If I open two infowindows, enter the info in both, then click save on the first one I opened it will update the last infowindow created with "You submitted" and it will save it twice. I tried a few different things based on different stack overflow posts including adding an iterator around the initialization of my infowindow and also adding an external function for adding a marker, but this did not work. I also made sure my global variables (like map) are declared before initializing. I am a nube that has been struggling for days.
I'm sure the issue surrounds my confusion about how the infowindow is attached to the markers in the array. My code is in the snippet below.
var markers = [];
var uniqueId = 1;
var marker;
var infowindow;
var map;
var html;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: {
lat: 48.591130,
lng: -119.682349
},
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: ['roadmap']
}
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
//Attach click event handler to the map.
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(e) {
//Determine the location where the user has clicked.
var location = e.latLng;
//Create a marker and placed it on the map.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map,
});
//Set unique id
marker.id = uniqueId;
uniqueId++;
markers.push(marker);
//Attach click event handler to the marker.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e) {
html = "<p style='color:#173e43;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;text-align:center; width:150pxs; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom:4px' >Add A Comment</p>" +
"<table>" +
"<tr><td>Issue/Idea:</td> <td> <textarea rows='1' cols='26' id='name' style='height: 30px; width:150px' name='reply'></textarea></td> </tr>" +
"<tr><td>Address:</td> <td><input type='text' id='address' style='width:150px'/></td> </tr>" +
"</td></tr>";
html += "<tr><td><input type = 'button' value = 'Delete' onclick = 'DeleteMarker(" + marker.id + ");' value = 'Delete' /></td>" +
"<td><input type='button' value='Submit' onclick='saveData(" + marker.id + ")'/></td></tr>";
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: html
});
infowindow.setContent(html);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
//Add marker to the array.
markers.push(marker);
});
};
function DeleteMarker(id) {
//Find and remove the marker from the Array
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
if (markers[i].id == id) {
//Remove the marker from Map
markers[i].setMap(null);
//Remove the marker from array.
markers.splice(i, 1);
return;
}
}
};
function saveData(id) {
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
if (markers[i].id == id) {
var name = escape(document.getElementById("name").value);
var address = escape(document.getElementById("address").value);
var latlng = markers[i].getPosition();
var url = "phpsqlinfo_addrow.php?name=" + name + "&address=" + address +
"&lat=" + latlng.lat() + "&lng=" + latlng.lng();
downloadUrl(url, function(data, responseCode) {
if (responseCode == 200 && data.length >= 1) {
document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = "Location added. Contents: name=" + name +", address=" + address+ " latlng=" +latlng;
}
});
infowindow.setContent("You submitted Contents: name=" + name +", address=" + address+ " latlng=" +latlng);
}
}
}
function downloadUrl(url, callback) {
var request = window.ActiveXObject ?
new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') :
new XMLHttpRequest;
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
request.onreadystatechange = doNothing;

Ok, so I moved the push statement so that it is pushing the marker to the array after I declare the infowindow. This stopped the save function from saving the html contents multiple times. So the save is working great now, the only problem is my ability to update the right infowindow with the message "You submitted..."
It is still just updating the last infowindow I opened with that message.
var markers = [];
var uniqueId = 1;

info window in for loop not functioning

I am trying to open some info windows on some markers. I am following another an example here. I am not being thrown any errors in the console. I would expect the info windows to open but don't see anything. I have tried making sure all the variables are global, moving around where I call the event listener and the structure of the for loop where I call both the markers and the info window. I have tried switching out markers and marker in the listening event but neither has worked.
What am I doing wrong?
Fiddle here.

});
};
});

Change the last code to this
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infoWindow.setContent("<div>Hello, World</div>");
infoWindow.open(map, this);
});
marker instead of markers, and setContent instead of setcontent

how to make a clickable phone number in iphone application by using javascript and html5 applied mysql database?

and I know that 1-801-555-1212 will make this certain number be clickable. I tested it and it works fine.
My question is if I do have a variable phone which will call from database via mysql, how can I make this variable be clickable? I've tried a lot of way but none of them work.
I used the following link to create a store locator page
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html
and my original code is here.

You can surround the phone number by a "a" tag with a href="tel:{PHONE NUMBER}"
