Well, thanks for the offer, but you've done it like this:
<script language="javascript">setTimeout("map_init()", 3000);</
script>
which isn't good practice. It's best to move that call in its entirety
out of the table because Javascript shouldn't be included in a table.
Better still: use <body onload="map_init()" onunload="GUnload()">
which waits for the page to be finished before running map_init().
Or, if you can't do that because of your CMS, change your existing
setTimeout to window.onload:
<script language="javascript">window.onload=map_init;</script>
although that means that you still have script inside the table, it
does the same thing as <body onload> and means that the map will
always wait for the page to be rendered.
While three seconds should be enough, what if it isn't?
Note the use of GUnload(), which is there to help with memory leaks in
IE.
