OpenLayers - marker popup text problem

Can anyone point me towards what have I missed here? The text displayed in all the popups is always “aa4”.

 var sname= new Array('aa1', 'aa2', 'aa3', 'aa4');

 for(var p=0; p<4; ++p) {
	var txt = new String(sname[p]);
	var ll =  new OpenLayers.LonLat(slon[p],slat[p]).transform(EPSG4326,EPSG900913);
	var marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(ll,icon.clone());
	marker.events.register('mousedown', marker, function(evt) {
            var popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.Anchored(null,
                                   ll,
                                   new OpenLayers.Size(100,100),
                                   txt,
                                   anchor=null,true,null);

                map.addPopup(popup);

                OpenLayers.Event.stop(evt); 

            });
	
	markers.addMarker(marker);
}

I have solved this using features rather than markers as per this example here:

However, I’m a still interested in what was going wrong in the code
