It is reasonable to suppose that MAYBE some sloppy coding works better in some API versions than others. The kind of thing I'm thinking of is where strings are passed in but a float number is expected etc. That way, an apparently "working" map - but in reality, sloppily coded - might "get away with it" until some later date. Just guessing. In the case in hand, putting http://www.lakecountypassage.com/index.html through a validator tells a story ... 58 errors (mostly knock-on effects, but it only takes one fundamental error) http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lakecountypassage.com%2Findex.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 No character encoding specified in doctype. doctype is HTML 4.01 transitional, not the XHTML strict that Google recommend. There's a missing </a> tag for <a class="navlink" href="http:// www.lakecountyil.gov/Transportation/Default.htm">... There's an extra /div here - </div><div id = "update" .... There's an extra </span> and an extra </p> here - </p></span></p> You have multiple divs with the same id - <div id="linkitem" ... I've no idea how any given browser will behave with this broken HTML, they'll try their best but results will be unpredictable. PCs that have had updates may deal with the problems differently to PCs that are never ever updated. There might be knock-on effects to the maps API, or to some particular API versions. If you are convinced your ills are down to API changes why not peg your maps webpage(s) to a version you know works, say from two months ago, instead of v=2 cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
