Thanks for the reply Larry: For 1., it would just involve Google adding a new function to the callback list in the right order. It wouldn't complicate the external API, but you are right it there might be some bad details in the implementation with multiple versions of IE.
For 2., of course I can fix my code to use one callback, but as the code is now the callbacks are in different files as the general setting up of the map has been extracted out into its own callback with page specific setup in another callback. The page specific callback must occur after the map setup. So yes I will be uglifying my code to get it to work around IE's weirdness - thanks On Apr 13, 4:11 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Apr 13, 6:55 pm, "David J.
