No. This is the **Ajax** loader! You don't load the Maps API with the <script> tag. That tag loads the **Ajax loader**. After doing that, you still have to tell the loader to load the **maps API** and wait for it to be fully loaded, otherwise the maps functionality is not there. > I'd call this a rather serious issue with the loader and the maps > lib. > Examples belowhttp://dev.y2g.org/?page=preDOM > http://dev.y2g.org/?page=postDOM You have two script tags in that 'postDOM' page, but in any case, there's no issue here. As mentioned in my earlier post, the documentation shows you exactly how to do it. > Do you work for google Marcelo? If not I'll post this as it's own > topic, hoping to get their attention. I don't work for Google, and you're free to post another thread if you like, of course, but I wouldn't recommend insisting on an issue that is not an issue. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- > > On Jun 23, 2:34 pm, Marcelo <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Jun 23, 6:54 pm, Donovan Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > A (much) simpler demohttp://dev.y2g.org/?page=map_1 > > > You're calling google.load() before you load the API script. > > If you use the callback function google.setOnLoadCallback(), (as shown > > in the documentation), then nobody gets killed. > > ;-)http://maps.forum.nu/temp/gm_api_vs_dom.html > > > -- > > Marcelo -http://maps.forum.nu > > -- > > > > Arrived at this demo by > > > going through the old one and stripping out first all code not needed > > > to launch the map, (including jQuery and all other libs) > > > simplified the html a bit.
