This might give you some idea:

var loadedXML = {
location: true,
targets: false
};

function showHideMarkers(type, bShow)
{
if (bShow)
{
// show markers
}
else
{
// hide markers
}
}

function handleClick(checkbox)
{
var type = checkbox.value;

if (checkbox.checked)
{
if (!loadedXML[type])
{
GDownloadUrl(type + ".xml",
function(data) {
loadedXML[type] = true;
createSetMarkers(data);
showHideMarkers(type, true);
});
}
else
{
showHideMarkers(type, true);
}
}
else
{
showHideMarkers(type, false);
}
}

You're welcome. BTW: Your keyboard appears to be broken.
