Hey OM, I'm looking at the HTML source for your page, and there are a few problems with it.
I see where you're loading the Maps API code, but I don't see any code that actually tries to use the Maps API. There are also some problems with the HTML structure. I see <head> once, and </head> three times. The page doesn't begin with a DOCTYPE or an <html> tag. It starts off with a <table> (which would normally be in the <body>), and then jumps to some <meta> tags and a <title>, all of which would normally be in the <head>. Ah, just found the DOCTYPE and <html> tags. They are after a bunch of code that would normally be in the <body>. I think your best bet at this point would be to start over with a very simple and valid HTML structure, and then add back in your page features one by one, making sure you put them in the correct place, and making sure the page validates at each step along the way. Either keep backups of each revision, or better yet use a source control system like Subversion to manage the revision history for you. Subversion is easier to set up than you might think, even if you just use it on your local machine, and it gives you an easy way to back up every revision of your page. Use this page to validate your HTML: http://validator.w3.org/ If you make sure you have valid HTML, then a lot of things will become much easier. You'll still need to add some JavaScript code to actually get a map to display, but I'd do that after you have valid HTML. I assume the Grid Finder you're talking about is this page, is that right? http://www.qrz.com/gridfinder Does qrz.com provide their code in a form that's designed to be incorporated into other pages like yours, or is it just part of their standalone page? 73 de Mike WJ6V > From: W9JR 1* Y Rich > Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 12:58 PM > To: Google Maps API > Subject: Key code for Google Maps > > > I am the webmaster for our Amateur Radio club website, and I > would like to use the Grid Finder feature on our site.
