Marcelo! Your solution DOES work. Thanks!
I think, however, it avoids the issue our upset JavaJive and myself
have discovered.
It looks like your example code works because "google.load('maps'.."
is called BEFORE the DOM is initialized.
If one calls "google.load('maps'.." after the DOM is fully loaded (via
the body's onload tag) the page is still 'destroyed' as it were.
I'd call this a rather serious issue with the loader and the maps
lib.
Examples below
http://dev.y2g.org/?page=preDOM
http://dev.y2g.org/?page=postDOM
Do you work for google Marcelo? If not I'll post this as it's own
topic, hoping to get their attention.
