This is almost certainly because of a timing issue. When Google Maps starts in your iframe, the iframe is still being rendered so reports its size to the browser (and on to the map) as zero. The map has been initialised by the time the iframe is properly set up as the size you specify. You're not using the API, so map.checkResize() probably won't work. Since you're using jQuery, you may be able to do something with an interstitial page in your iframe. Set the src to a page which uses document.ready to set the location to the Maps url. That *might* allow the iframe to have sorted itself out before the map gets loaded and needs to know what size it is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
