The InfoWindow object does not have a 'click' event, so you cannot do

google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'click',....

instead, you can attach an event handler to the DOM object, such as

function addMarker(latLng, name){

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map:map,
    position:latLng
});

G.event.addListener(marker,'click',function(mev){
        var div = document.createElement('div');
        div.innerHTML = name;
        div.onclick = function(){iwClick(name)};
        infoWindow.setContent(div);
        infoWindow.setPosition(mev.latLng);
        infoWindow.open(map);

    });
}

function iwClick(str){
    alert(str);
};

and you call it with

var chicago = new google.maps.LatLng(41.850033, -87.6500523);
addMarker(chicago,'chicago');
