Hello, I had this problem or similar at least, where only FF worked
with maps while Explorer didn't. In general Explorer is "more
strict" and FF has broader range to understand "what you mean"
The GMaps javascript interface says something like th is:
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("maps", "2",{"other_params":"sensor=false"});
// Call this function when the page has been loaded
function initialize() {
VAR map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng
(20.399240662258034,-99.979727268219), 16);
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);
map.enableContinuousZoom();
...
...
Notice the word VAR -upper case on purpose-. If you miss to write
it, Explorer's javascript will complain, while Firefox will not. As
soon as you put the "var" prior to the "map" variable, the Explorer's
JS will work fine.
Greetings
