Hi Ross -- am really trying to figure this one out so bear with me. You suggested: "This is I think because the map lives in a div of indeterminate size inside a table." -- I thought the div was assigned a size : <div id="map" style="WIDTH: 420px; HEIGHT: 325px"></ div>
?? what am I missing? I found this post from Andrew on the search you led me on. Sure sounds like my problem, but since I don't understand the div/size piece I'm still stumbling... http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/63a4807af8c1d08c/ced299826a8ef3e7?lnk=gst&q=ie+map+in+table#ced299826a8ef3e7 The reason things go wrong in IE with the map script where it is is that it's executed inside the table which contains the map. That used to cause a fatal error, but now it doesn't -- but it does mean that at the time it's run nothing in the page is completely defined. That includes the size of the map; because the API can't tell what size it is, it assumes it's zero, so all you get is the "overflow" tiles around the edge. IE only sorts out sizes and makes them available to Javascript once the page is completely defined, and that's just before </body>. Firefox works differently and it's quite likely that everything works well with your page in Firefox -- apart from <body onload="load ()"...> Andrew On Jul 1, 2:51 pm, Rossko <[email protected]> wrote: > > We tried removing the onload="initialize() from the body tag and > > moving the map script to the end....and they tell me it's still a > > error-ing in IE6. > > > view-source:http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/gd/templates/pages/pfv/ > > PFV.aspx?page=317 > > No errors for me in IE6.
