I am not a pundit on incumbent maps, but the EmbedObject is a lame duck for iframe, and is better replaced by a separate macro, GoogleMaps.
If you View Source and compare the result of EmbedObject and HTML for Google Map (iframe with parameters), you'll see that the result of EmbedObject is <object width=...> etc; it is similar to the expected way of embedding Google maps: <iframe width=...>. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Brian Schott <[email protected]> > To: Chat forum <[email protected]> > Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 5:46:52 PM > Subject: Re: [Jchat] embed Google map on jwiki Already there is a hyperlink to this page at the jwiki/Community/Demographics. My purpose is to also embed an image of the same link on that page to show the encumbent map on the jwiki. Although the map can only be altered by clicking on the hyperlink, I want users to be able to see the current map with its pushpins of J users. http://simplifyconnections.appspot.com/?place=J Google offers a way to embed such urls using <iframe>, but EmbedObject cannot use <iframe>. I just want to make clear that any such macro would need to access an existing URL, but not to alter it. I have had a short discussion on their forum: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/topics The thread I have been involved in is entitled, "how to make my map embeddable on others' sites".
