We've talked this over and traced the problem to HTML's prohibition against nested <form> elements, which results in weird behavior in the situation you've found.
Fixing this is on our radar, but it seems to be a pretty rare situation that you'd need to put a map in a form, so I admit that it's not high priority. I recommend adding it to our issue tracker and then if a lot of people vote it up (by starring it), it is more likely to receive attention sooner. In the mean time, you'll have to move the map's div outside the form. Thanks, Adam On Jul 9, 4:14 am, John Murphy <jcmur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for looking into this.
