  // Add dragging event listeners.
  google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'dragstart', function() {

    float: left;
    margin-left: 10px;

  #infoPanel div {
    margin-bottom: 5px;
  }
  </style>

  <div id="mapCanvas"></div>
  <div id="infoPanel">
    <b>Marker status:</b>
    <div id="markerStatus"><i>Click and drag the marker.</i></div>
    <b>Current position:</b>
    <div id="info"></div>
    <b>Closest matching address:</b>
    <div id="address"></div>
  </div>
</body>

I have put together a simple function for you: 

function markerCoords(markerobject){
    google.maps.event.addListener(markerobject, 'dragend', function(evt){
        infoWindow.setOptions({
            content: '<p>Marker dropped: Current Lat: ' + evt.latLng.lat().toFixed(3) + ' Current Lng: ' + evt.latLng.lng().toFixed(3) + '</p>'
        });
        infoWindow.open(map, markerobject);
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(markerobject, 'drag', function(evt){
        console.log("marker is being dragged");
    });     
}

And insert markerCoords(marker); under the marker declaration!
