Hello Andrew and Ross, Thanks for the replies.
Taking your suggestions on the my CSS positioning, I made the following modifications as can be seen from http://faculty.unlv.edu/jensen/html/CSS/GoogleMapsAPI/divLogoFullPageMapsIE.html 1. When I use Mike's very helpful tutorial http://www.econym.org.uk/gmap/basic19.htm I end up getting scroll bars in the browser window. I think the solution is to use the overflow: hidden; in the CSS declaration block (note sure if it needs to be added to a combination of DIV, BODY and HTML tags) but I didn't have success with IE 6. 2. Using a tip from Beginning CSS by Richard York, ISBN 978-0-470-09697-0, p. 412. "For IE 6 to properly stretch the absolutely positioned elements, it needs a bit of help." div#container { width: expression(documentElement.offsetWidth - 5); height: expression(documentElement.offsetHeight - 5); // 5 should be in units of pixels } Now when I test my CSS in IE 6, IE 8 and FireFox 3 I get a nice Google Map which fills and dynamically resizes to the width and height of the web browser window. Switching topics, I'm still working on getting the new google.map AJAX API to work since a majority of the documentation uses the older Gxxx API.
