There's no problem with asking in the group; that's what it's there for. Replies may be a bit terse because there's no point in superfluity.

The "sensor" parameter > specified in the request must be set to either "true" or "false". Yes. TRUE is not the same as true. Javascript and other languages are case-sensitive. Using Firebug, I can see you are loading http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCes2HQWIKB5NsxjZWaJ-rd516-4-V1u2U&sensor=true http://maps.google.com/maps?file=googleapi&key=ABQIAAAAmfnmLtcTHrHhkpkNKRujrRRnRZM9i66V77rRaQmSxF8bpYq1RBQ2RLYMDfRCRcCPWBzO7serz8DfcA&v=2.x So you are loading both Version 3 and Version 2 APIs. I can't find where the Version 2 API is loaded; I suspect that's what is producing the message. But you don't appear to have any code which builds a map in any case. I can't find the "resultsMap" div referenced anywhere. However: I *can* see what you meant by "include". Your developer has used php to include a complete web page inside another. Unfortunately that has resulted in invalid HTML because you have two <html> elements and two <head> elements. And it's probably what has resulted in loading different APIs. It's looking rather like you need to hire a developer. I'm afraid that sorting out that code is probably beyond the scope of this group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
